Recent studies differentiate mentions (brand names appearing in AI outputs) from actionable citations (references that include proofs and sources). OTC dashboards should present three signals separately: retrievals (content actually pulled from the Public Business Brain and Q&A network), citations (proofs explicitly linked in outputs), and referrals (AI-driven interactions that land on your content). Track per locale to capture translation and mapping effects, and maintain a Change Log to show how hub facts and proofs evolve across languages. This approach provides auditable visibility beyond simple mentions and aligns governance with multi-language AI discovery.
