Analytics and monitoring decision
VerifiedDR
A capable developer can reproduce the core visibility tracking and weekly plan flow in ~1 week, but the full product's marketplace, verified partner pool, Trust-adjusted scoring and guarantee are non-trivial to replicate and justify continued payment for those extras.

Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need — the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship.
What a replacement has to do
- Ask AI platforms the buyer questions, detect whether the target site is cited, aggregate citations and competitor sources, verify backlinks/traffic evidence, and produce a ranked weekly action list.
What it still won’t have
- Verified marketplace of partner placements and the publisher listing pool
- VerifiedDR's Trust-adjusted TrueDR scoring and its pre-verified backlink dataset
- Built-in MCP/agent integrations and CLI polish
- 12-week Visibility Score guarantee and refund handling
- Ongoing uptime, hosting and customer support bundled by the vendor
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

What we assumed
The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal AI-visibility tracker using Node.js (Express) + PostgreSQL + React. Core features in scope: (1) ingest a list of buyer prompts and target domain; (2) call three AI endpoints (stubbed adapters for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode) and store full answers; (3) extract and normalize domain citations from answers; (4) crawl and verify backlink/traffic metadata for cited pages (basic HTTP fetch + parse); (5) compute per-prompt share-of-voice, a simple impact/effort/confidence ranking algorithm, and produce a weekly action list; (6) provide a web dashboard and a small REST API/CLI to run scans. Out of scope: building a publisher marketplace, paid backlink sales, and enterprise billing. Require error handling for network failures, rate limits, retries, and include unit tests for parsing, citation-matching, and ranking logic.
How we checked
How the score was reached
- Partly verdict base52
- An open-source build was found+5
- 4 cited sources+3
- Price verified on pricing page+3
- Evidence score63
The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time — so the same evidence always produces the same number.
