# New Site Radar

> New Site Radar tracks newly launched AI tool websites (domains registered on or after 2025-01-01) and shows their traffic momentum, revenue signals and the evidence behind every number. All traffic and revenue figures are third-party estimates or modelled ranges, never figures reported by the sites themselves.

## Current coverage

- Sites with a public profile page: 931
- Latest ranking snapshot: Aug 2026 (228 sites ranked)
- AI model releases tracked: 762 across 26 labs

## Data sources

- TabAPI: monthly visits (up to 12 months), traffic channels, top countries, keywords, engagement, backlinks / domain rating. Primary traffic source.
- DataForSEO: US organic traffic estimate (ETV), the second source for keyword-led sites.
- Tranco: public research ranking of the top one million domains, used to check traffic magnitude.
- RDAP (registry data): domain registration date. Certificate Transparency logs: first TLS certificate, where available.
- Our own crawl of each homepage and pricing page: status, tech stack, payment-provider fingerprints, listed prices.
- A large language model in an offline batch job: AI-tool classification, one-line description, qualitative notes. It never produces traffic or revenue numbers.

## Inclusion rules (all must hold to be ranked)

- Domain registered on or after 2025-01-01 (RDAP, WHOIS fallback). Candidates found on a newly-registered-domains list are re-checked against RDAP before they can be ranked; until then a profile shows "First seen in newly-registered list" (which may be 1–3 days after the actual registration) instead of a registration date.
- Classified as an AI tool (not a directory, news site or template shell); homepage returns 2xx; not adult, scam or illegal.
- At least 3 months of traffic history and at least 5,000 visits in the latest month.
- Cross-check verdict is not "unverified".

## Accuracy thresholds (status: approved on 2026-10-01)

- MIN_BASE = 1,000 visits: below this in the previous month no growth % is shown; the site is marked "New".
- MIN_VISITS = 5,000 visits: minimum latest-month visits to be listed.
- XCHECK_BAND = 10x: keyword-led sites — allowed ratio between TabAPI US organic traffic and DataForSEO US ETV.
- BRAND_RANK_BAND = 1.2 (log10): brand-led sites — allowed gap between TabAPI global rank and Tranco rank.
- RISING_TRANCO_OVERRIDE = on: a fast-rising keyword-led site outside the band is not marked unverified when its Tranco rank agrees.

## Evidence badges

- verified: two traffic estimates agree within the band (keyword-led sites).
- rank_checked: traffic magnitude agrees with the Tranco rank.
- single_source: only one provider covers the site yet; ranked, but treat it as one estimate.
- unverified: sources disagree beyond the band; not ranked.

## Revenue estimates

- A modelled monthly range (visits x conversion assumptions x the site's own prices), not reported revenue.
- Grade B: payment provider fingerprinted on the site's own pages and real prices read from its pricing page. Grade A: grade B plus a self-reported revenue anchor from a comparable site. Grade C (traffic only) is never ranked.

## Update frequency

- Traffic: monthly; the ranking snapshot is written on the 13th and describes the previous full month.
- New-site discovery: daily. Homepage / pricing crawl: rolling. Model releases: every 30 minutes.
