Observed in the API response
Exact query strings, the selected model and locale, and sources returned for a search action. These are the strongest fields because the provider actually supplied them.

Learn what query fanout is, which searches an API can expose, what citations prove, and how to use the result without overclaiming.

Pick the question you actually need answered.
AI query fanout starts when a broad topic becomes several narrower web searches. Those branches can reveal comparison criteria, practical problems, local context and source types that the original keyword hides. The useful next step depends on what you are trying to decide.

From question to decision
- 01
Understand the idea
Learn what query fanout is and what an outside tool cannot see.
- 02
Group the observed queries
Combine wording variants that serve the same reader job.
- 03
Check the returned sources
Use only relationships and claims the provider response can support.
- 04
Make the smallest useful change
Decide whether the branch needs a page, a section, more research, or no action.
03
What the result can—and cannot—tell you
Compared on your device
Exact query overlap, shared source domains and changes between saved runs. This comparison is calculated locally and does not trigger another provider request.
Needs another source
Search demand, ranking difficulty, business value and whether a new page is justified. Fanout can expose a question; it cannot prove that the question deserves a URL.
Editorial standard
Useful guides need more than the right keyword.
Every guide must answer one distinct question, name its reviewed date and primary sources, separate observed provider data from interpretation, and state what the evidence cannot prove. We add a page only when it brings its own examples, method or decision support; wording variants stay together.
