Discovery mode breakdown
What each search-discovery mode produced in the selected window.

Last published in /funnel.

15-theme overnight (legacy) Sonnet rotates through 15 hand-picked themes, runs Google via DataForSEO. Not tagged with keyword/notes on most pre-2026-05-17 rows. | 2,039 | 19,059 | 4,464 | 589 | $3.85 | $0.0065 |
opportunity-seeded (daily) Daily 05:15 UTC. Picks top 25 empty/sparse OpportunityNiche rows by searchPriorityScore, runs their suggestedQueries[]. | 747 | 6,535 | 3,059 | 111 | $1.49 | $0.01 |
alternative-to-X (daily + weekly) Daily 06:15 UTC for newly-registered agents. Weekly Sun 04:15 UTC for the whole 1,400-row pool. Query shape: "<handle>" alternative. | 202 | 1,655 | 404 | 18 | $0.40 | $0.02 |
| total | 2,988 | 7,927 | 718 | $5.74 | $0.0080 |
published = Agent rows that successfully came from a candidate this run discovered. Back-filled by /api/candidates/result when the promoter publishes. Legacy rows (pre-2026-05-17) lack the back-pointer so their published count under-reports.
