How does Scrunch AI's query fan-out analysis work, and is it detailed enough to show how ChatGPT rewrites my prompt into sub-queries before it answers?

“Scrunch's main product is AI visibility monitoring. It tracks prompts sent to AI platforms, collects the resulting answers, and analyses brand mentions, citations, competitors, sentiment and positioning.”

“Prompt-level monitoring: See how ChatGPT responds to a tracked prompt.”

“Citation analysis: Identify which websites and URLs ChatGPT references.”

“Competitive analysis: See which competitors appear instead of your brand.”

“Content-gap analysis: Identify topics and questions your content doesn't adequately answer.”

“Search-enabled filtering: Separate responses where the AI used search from model-only responses.”

“Scrunch's documentation describes a Responses API for retrieving individual response text and citations, alongside aggregate reporting APIs.”

“A June 2026 third-party comparison of AI visibility platforms identifies a query_fanouts dimension in Scrunch's API, but describes Scrunch's documented visibility as aggregate/API-level rather than a clearly documented, dedicated per-prompt fan-out interface.”

“Individual results associated with each sub-query Not established by the public documentation I found”

“Scrunch may be able to provide some of this through its API, but its publicly documented capabilities don't establish the full level of detail you're looking for.”

“OpenAI confirms that ChatGPT Search can rewrite a user's question into one or more targeted queries, then issue additional searches after reviewing initial results.”
