Atlas is built by a dedicated Outseen development team that works on the engine around the clock. The team follows the official documentation of Google, Bing, OpenAI and Anthropic, turns relevant insights into checks and tests every change before it is put to use. Outseen’s specialists turn the findings from Atlas into work on websites.
What the development team does
The team has one job: making Atlas better at investigating websites. In practice:
- Following sources. Search engines and AI companies publish how they fetch and process websites. The team reads that official documentation and assesses what is relevant.
- Framing research questions. A new insight becomes a specific question: what information can a system retrieve, and which check belongs with it?
- Building and testing checks. Each check tests one property against a fixed criterion. Before a new or changed check is put to use, the team tests whether it gives the intended result.
- Recording limits. When a check cannot reach a conclusion, Atlas shows it as unknown rather than as a fail or a pass.
A successful test on sample cases does not prove that Atlas never makes a mistake. That is why Atlas stores the evidence with every finding, so a specialist can trace what it is based on.
What the specialists do
Atlas collects and tests. Outseen’s specialists assess what the findings mean for your website. They take your offer, your customers and your priorities into account, choose the work and carry it out. A technical check says something about your website, not about your position in Google or a mention in an AI answer. A person makes that judgement.
The questions specialists come across on websites go back to the development team. That way, work on real websites helps decide what Atlas learns next.
What 24/7 does and does not mean
Work on Atlas continues around the clock. That is not a promise of 24/7 customer service, of a particular level of system availability or of daily measurements for your website. What you get per plan or project is set out in your agreements.
