## The numbers that survive a budget meeting

DevRel dies in review season when the work is invisible. The report rolls up what was found, how sentiment moved, how fast the team replied and what is still open, over whatever period you are reporting on. Every number traces back to real threads, so when someone asks what drove the spike, the receipts are one click away.

## Delivered, not assembled

Each member picks their own cadence (daily, weekly or monthly) and the digest arrives by email; webhook digests post the same rollup to Slack or Discord for the whole team. The AI share-of-voice standings ride along, so the report covers both halves of the job: what developers said, and what AI says.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is in the report?

Mentions found and triaged, sentiment counts and trend, response rate, top sources and keywords, still-unanswered items, and your AI share-of-voice standings per topic.

### Can each team member get a different cadence?

Yes. Email digests are per member: daily, weekly or monthly each, with send-on-demand when someone wants numbers right now. Workspace webhooks have their own schedule.

### Can I pull the numbers into my own tooling?

The REST API exposes signals, the report rollup and share-of-voice standings with workspace-scoped keys, and the MCP server gives AI agents the same read access.
