_97 of 123 listings answer yes for “How often it checks”. Counted from our own datasheet, with the query that reproduces every figure._

## How often it checks, across 123 settled listings

Of the 123 Published listings whose datasheet settles “How often it checks”, the largest group is “Yes” at 97 (79%). Measured 2026-10-16.

| Listings | Count | Share of 123 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Yes | 97 | 79% |
| Qualified | 25 | 20% |
| No | 1 | 1% |

Denominator: 123 Published listings whose datasheet settles “How often it checks”. Method: Counted from the stored datasheet answer for “How often it checks” across every Published listing, excluding the 1 without a recognised stored answer on that row.

## The population

124 listings in this index are Published. This is the population as of 2026-10-16. 123 of the 124 published listings in this index carry a settled answer for “How often it checks”. That row asks: Daily, weekly, or on demand? One other listing has no recognised stored answer on this row and is left out of every figure below rather than counted as a no.

## Findings

1. 97 of the 123 settled listings answer “Yes” for “How often it checks”. That is 79% of the settled set.

2. 25 of the 123 settled listings answer “Qualified” for “How often it checks”. That is 20% of the settled set.

3. 1 of the 123 settled listings answer “No” for “How often it checks”. That is 1% of the settled set.

1 of those yes answers is Conductor, which still answers yes for “How often it checks”. Its [listing](/conductor) carries the stored answer and links to [the source recorded for it](https://www.conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-search-faqs). This is one worked example, not an independent audit of every source in the census.

## What we counted, and how

Each figure above is a count over the “How often it checks” row of the listing datasheet, taken from the same stored answer the listing page renders. The denominator is the 123 listings whose answer is settled, meaning one of yes, qualified, no, does not apply, not established. It is not the 124 in the index, because a missing answer is not evidence of absence. Every number here is stored with the read-only query that reproduces it and re-run every sixty seconds against the live corpus, so a figure that stops reproducing surfaces as drift rather than as a stale sentence nobody notices. Our full method covers how a datasheet row is settled in the first place.

## Limitations

This counts stored datasheet answers, not independently tested capabilities. A sourced answer can record a vendor statement or our reading of published evidence; this census does not re-fetch those sources. “Not established” means we have not established an answer. That can reflect vendor nondisclosure, blocked evidence, or unfinished research, not a no. An absent or unrecognised answer is excluded rather than treated as a researched finding. The figures are restated when the stored corpus changes; the date above is the count used for this published version, not a new verification of the vendors.
