BYOK, encrypted at rest

Perplexity, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Qwen keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in Postgres. The browser never reads them back; /api/run decrypts only for that request.

Sequential queue

Client-side job queue hits /api/run one engine at a time with backoff, so rate limits don't torch your first scan.

Unprompted scoring

Mention and citation rates only count probes that do not name your brand, so repeating the question does not inflate visibility.
