        "text": "You don’t need formal documentation to start measuring AI share of voice, but you do need a clear, repeatable process. The biggest risk without documentation is inconsistent prompts and methodologies that make your numbers unreliable.\n\nContext: AI answers can vary based on subtle prompt changes and testing environments. If you don’t capture how you’re running tests, you can’t compare results over time or across teams.\n\nKey factors:\n- Prompt definitions and wording\n- Engine list and test conditions (logged-out, same versions)\n- Competitor set and mention counting rules\n- Storage of runs and results for trend analysis\n\nPractical guidance: Create a simple playbook: a shared document listing prompts, engines, competitors, and steps for running tests. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just consistent enough to make your metrics stable.\n\nSoft positioning: Treat light documentation as the minimum viable guardrail that makes your AI share of voice work trustworthy.",
