Did the work you did actually pay off?
Every annotation you log against a report — a launch, a migration, a content push — gets a checkpoint: a date to check back and an expectation of what should move. Annotation Outcomes grades every checkpoint automatically, without treating association as proof of causation.
Met, missed, or inconclusive — never a guess
Add an annotation from any report with the Add annotation button, attach an expectation, and AmICited checks it against the metric it was supposed to move once the checkpoint date arrives. A result is Met, Missed or Inconclusive — inconclusive rows are excluded from the success rate instead of silently counting as a miss, and you can manually override any verdict when you know something the data doesn't.
- ✓Checkpoint outcomes — every checkpoint in the selected range, tallied as met versus resolved, with a running success rate.
- ✓Manual overrides tracked separately — when you override an automatic verdict, that count shows next to the automatic one, never blended in silently.
- ✓Outcome roll-ups by dimension — compare the same verdict grammar across category, page or whatever dimension the annotation was tagged with.
- ✓Outcome ledger — one row per annotation, expectation and checkpoint, the full audit trail behind every verdict.
- ✓Not proof of causation — the report is explicit that a metric moving near a checkpoint is evidence to weigh, not a courtroom verdict.
One button, logged from wherever the work happened, graded automatically
Add annotation sits in the toolbar of every report in AmICited — Click Waterfall, Directory View, Unified Keywords, all of them. Log the change where you noticed it needed one, set what metric should move and by when, and Annotation Outcomes becomes the single place that later tells you whether it did. The Outcome ledger is the detail behind every summary number — one row for each annotation, the expectation it was graded against, the checkpoint date, and the verdict AmICited reached.
- ✓Logged in context — an annotation added from a specific report carries that report's dimension with it automatically.
- ✓Not range-bound on the source list — the annotations management list can show entries from any date; Outcomes only grades the ones whose checkpoint falls inside your selected window.
- ✓One row per checkpoint — annotation, expectation, checkpoint date and verdict, never rolled up past the point you can still audit it.
- ✓Export current page — take exactly what's on screen, filters applied, into a report or a review.
- ✓A running record — every annotation you've ever logged stays visible in Open annotations, whether or not it has resolved yet.
Grade your own SEO work automatically
Log an annotation, set an expectation and a checkpoint date, and let AmICited tell you — met, missed, or genuinely inconclusive — without pretending correlation is causation.
