FAQ
Where does corpus data come from?
Obsurfable maintains an internal research corpus of buyer-style questions (admin-curated and taxonomy-tagged). Prompt explorer exposes a sanitized subset—client names and sensitive fields are not shown.
Does explorer run live AI queries?
No. Explorer shows corpus metadata and aggregated observation stats. Live AI answers come from Prompt runs (ChatGPT today; Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity coming soon).
