> The home screen: metric cards, trends and your most important tables.

The dashboard is your daily starting point. It summarizes everything collected by tracking runs into a few screens of signal.

## The metric cards

Five cards show the core metrics for the last 30 days, with the change versus the 30 days before. The Visibility card adds a daily sparkline:

1. Visibility Score: in how many runs you appeared at all
2. Citation Share: your slice of all citations
3. Mention Share: in how many completed runs you were named
4. Sentiment: the average tone of your mentions
5. Mention Rank: your average place among the brands the answers name, lower is better, with the Top-3 rate below. It counts best-of, comparison and unclassified prompts, like the Reports default. A negative change means you moved up. Until the period has an analyzed answer the card shows a dash and "No analyzed answers yet".

Each card carries a small info icon that opens the exact definition in place.

## The tables

Below the cards, the dashboard aggregates where things stand:

1. Visibility by Platform: where you are visible, per AI source
2. Recent Tracking Results: the latest individual answers with queries and sources
3. Top brands, Top citation URLs and Top Competitors: who and what dominates your answers right now

## When you are new

If tracking has not produced data yet, the dashboard shows the Getting Started checklist instead: configure an AI source if your plan needs one, create a brand, add a topic, add prompts, and run your first tracking. Steps tick off automatically as you complete them.

## The analysis banner

If mentions and sentiment show zero across the board, a banner appears at the top: without an analysis key (your own OpenRouter key on the Free plan), mention extraction is skipped. The banner links straight to the fix, or suggests upgrading to a paid plan where the analysis runs for you.
