Dated snapshot

A dated snapshot is a timestamped copy of an LLM answer, used as evidence and for comparing visibility across dates.
  • Proof for leadership that a metric moved, not vibes.

  • Pairs with prompt pack versioning and LLM-Score trends.

Definition

A dated snapshot is the immutable record of what models answered for a given prompt at a recorded time—raw text, model name, completion metadata, and your scoring overlay. It is the audit trail behind charts. When stakeholders argue about a number, snapshots settle the debate.

How it's computed

Every Getllmspy run stores completions in the report artifact. PDF exports preserve the same timestamp. When models refresh behavior intraday, your snapshot still reflects the world at the moment you paid for the run—important for regulated teams.

How to read it

Compare snapshots only when the prompt pack and model coverage match; otherwise label the diff as methodological. Look for citation changes, sentiment shifts, and new competitors entering lists.

When to use

  • Weekly monitoring emails.
  • Legal or PR documentation.
  • Postmortems after a GEO experiment ships.
