Bundle Drift Tracking

How Bundle Drift works

Each $29 audit credit creates a 120-day audit bundle. The bundle has 3 slots:

• looks_one Slot 1: Baseline. Fires immediately when you spend the credit. Full 10-dimension CORE + AURA audit + Risk modifier. White-label PDF, fix plan, shareable link generated.
• looks_two Slot 2: Verify Fixes (manual). You can fire this any time within the 120-day window from your dashboard — e.g., after shipping a robots.txt fix or migrating to SSR. Useful for short-cycle iteration.
• looks_3 Slot 3: Auto Drift Re-audit. Automatically fires at day 60 by the daily Vercel cron. Same 10-dimension audit. You get an email when it's done.

What you see in the dashboard

• timeline Bundle timeline view. The bundle's 3 slots render as a horizontal timeline showing when each fired and the score delta between them.
• trending_up Per-dim drift chart. See which dimensions moved between baseline, verify, and drift — CORE dims usually shift fast (hours after a fix); AURA dims shift slow (weeks after content changes).
• mail Email notification. When the drift re-audit completes, you get a per-bundle email with the score delta and a link to the new report.

When Bundle Drift is most useful

• build Verifying offsite fixes. CORE fixes (robots.txt, schema, SSR) reflect quickly — the Verify slot at day 7 shows the lift. AURA fixes (content, third-party citations) take weeks — the Drift slot at day 60 shows whether they moved AI's perception.
• compare Tracking competitor moves. AURA shifts even without you changing anything — competitors launch products, news cycles change. Drift catches "the AI narrative shifted while we weren't looking" without you spending a new credit.
• trending_down Detecting Risk pile-ons. If a controversy hits at week 5, the day-60 drift re-audit flags the Risk increase before you'd otherwise notice.
• groups Agency client reporting. Schedule a 5-pack of audits (5 clients, $99 total). Each client gets baseline + drift = 10 audit reports across 90 days for $99 total. Quarterly reporting becomes near-free.

Frequently asked questions

• Does Bundle Drift cost extra credits?expand_more
  No. Every paid audit credit ($29) bundles three audit runs over a 120-day window: the original baseline, an optional verify-fixes run on demand, and an automatic drift re-audit at day 60. You don't spend extra credits to get the drift run.
• When exactly does the drift re-audit fire?expand_more
  60 days after your original audit ran, or earlier if you manually trigger it from the dashboard. The cron is idempotent and tracked via the auto_drift_queued_at column on each audit bundle, so it never double-fires.
• What if I cancel/refund the original audit?expand_more
  Drift re-audits don't fire on cancelled or refunded bundles. The system checks bundle status before scheduling. If you cancel between baseline and day 60, the drift cron skips your bundle.
• Can I disable the auto drift?expand_more
  Yes — from your dashboard, open the bundle and toggle "Auto drift re-audit" off. The bundle still has the verify slot, you just won't get the day-60 auto run. Most users keep it on since it's free and the data is useful.
