{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Caching means an AI might cite or reuse information without fetching the site at query time. The Digital Twin can\u2019t record a request that never reached its infrastructure. That\u2019s why we keep visible citations, first-party retrieval evidence, and confirmed referrals as separate signals rather than treating one signal as definitive. In practice, interpret signals by looking at multiple data points over time: when a retrieval comes with a citation or a referral, it\u2019s stronger than a bare retrieval. Signals like discovery, retrieval and referral are not proof of interest or a sale on their own. Use the mix of signals and compare activity over time to draw knowledge\u2014not sales\u2014conclusions.","answer_source":"approved_parent_and_related_qas","category":"AI Visibility Scan","category_slug":"ai-visibility-scan","created_at":"2026-08-19T19:32:53+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-08-19","display_date":"2026-08-19","drip_batch":"daily_conversation_breadcrumb","drip_status":"published_topup","id":"conv-daily-20260819-bc775731","image_ids":["supplyonly-category-image-011","supplyonly-general-image-060","supplyonly-general-image-076"],"image_url":"","last_updated":"2026-08-19T19:32:53+00:00","local_cache_status":"pending_airtable_sync","publish_status":"published","published":true,"published_at":"2026-08-19T19:32:53+00:00","question":"If caching is in play, how should I trust the report\u2019s signals?","question_intent":"conversational_followup","rss_enabled":true,"rss_pub_date":"Wed, 19 Aug 2026 19:32:53 GMT","scheduled_for":"2026-08-19T19:32:53+00:00","schema_enabled":true,"site_key":"supplyonlydt","slug":"if-caching-is-in-play-how-should-i-trust-the-report-s-signals","source":"daily_qa_drip_conversational_followup","source_queue_id":"","source_record_ids":[],"source_type":"daily_qa_drip_conversational_followup","source_urls":[],"status":"active","tags":["conversation follow-up","daily drip"],"updated_at":"2026-08-19T19:32:53+00:00"}
