METHODHow Outstrip reads your week

No black box. Just the public record.

We collect what is publicly available about your restaurant and the peers you choose, sweep it every Monday, and apply rules you can inspect. Every number has a source. Every signal can be traced back to the guest sentences behind it.

Every Monday

same sweep, every week

AI-generated figures

A weekly method you can actually inspect.

The sweep itself is the only part you do not see. Everything else is visible, traceable and yours to check. Outstrip Intelligence tells you when the sweep ran, what it found, and what it could not reach.

01

You name your shop

Enter your restaurant name and locality, just as a guest would search for it. We'll find your live Google listing and show you exactly which one we found before we analyse anything.

Why we askGetting the right listing matters. Confirming it ensures your report is based on the right restaurant.
You getYour restaurant score out of 100, with your first insights in about two minutes.
02

You choose your peers

Choose up to four restaurants you actually compete with. You know your competition better than an algorithm does. Pick the restaurants that matter to you, and we'll track them alongside your restaurant using the same sources and the same criteria.

You canChange your competitors anytime as your market changes.
You getA clear, side-by-side view of how your restaurant compares with the competition.
03

We run the sweep every Monday

Google, Zomato, Swiggy, Reddit and Instagram. The same sources, the same rules, the same sweep across your restaurant and your peers.

Weekly, not real time. That gives you a consistent point of comparison from one week to the next.

You getA dated weekly read, with the run time printed.
04

Rules decide what matters

Every recommendation starts with a rule and a threshold: an unanswered review count, a listing field that disagrees with reality, a dish whose mentions have turned, a peer whose review pace is pulling away from yours.

We rank what is worth your time and show the minutes required to act on it.

You getA ranked list, not a feed.
05

You can trace every number

Tap any figure and see the sentences it was computed from, alongside the source, rating and recency.

If we could not reach something, we say so. We do not estimate what we could not read.

You getA claim you can verify in one tap, or reject.

Five sources, and what each one actually gives us.

Each tells us something different. Each has limits. We show you both.

SourceWhat we readWhere it stops
GoogleReviews, ratings, replies, hours, photos, listed menu and Google's topic signals.Exact dates when Google only gives relative timing such as "a month ago".
ZomatoPublic listing, reviews, ratings, dish mentions, menu and visible delivery versus dining signals.Partner-only data such as covers, order volume and ad spend.
SwiggyPublic listing, menu, pricing, rating and review text where available.Order-level data and unavailable listings.
RedditLocal public threads that mention your venue, filtered to your city.Private communities, deleted comments and DMs.
InstagramPublic posting pace, engagement, captions and comments for your restaurant and peers.Stories, DMs and private accounts.

*All five are public surfaces. We read what a guest can read, and we mark what we cannot. Connecting your own Google or Instagram account is optional. It adds your first-party numbers without changing the weekly public-source sweep.

Five things Outstrip is not allowed to do.

These are not promises about how we intend to behave. They are limits we built into the product. Each one prevents Outstrip from saying, showing or inferring something it cannot prove.

01

It cannot fill a gap.

No source, no figure. No estimate dressed up as data. No zero where the answer is simply unknown.

We give up: complete-looking dashboards.
02

It cannot claim causation.

We record what changed after an action. We never turn sequence into proof.

We give up: attribution scores that look great in a pitch deck.
03

It cannot sharpen a date.

"A month ago" remains "a month ago". We do not manufacture precision the source did not provide.

We give up: perfectly neat timelines.
04

It cannot invent a dish.

A dish only enters the intelligence if we can match it to a menu we can see.

We give up: longer lists of supposedly popular dishes.
05

It cannot let AI make the call.

Recommendations come from explicit conditions and thresholds. AI explains them and helps write the response. It does not decide what matters.

We give up: mysterious findings that cannot be reproduced.

What a public sweep cannot see.

If the number you need lives behind a login, inside a private conversation, or cannot be established from the public record, Outstrip does not have it.

Covers, revenue and your POSbehind your login
WhatsApp and phone ordersnot public
The exact day a review was leftGoogle says "a month ago"
Why a number movedwe say "since", never "because"
A peer's real prices after discountlisting price only
Anything said on a private accountout of reach, by design

The AI boundary.

Worth being exact about, because "AI-powered" usually means nobody can tell you which number came from a model. AI has a narrow job in Outstrip. It works with language. It does not make up the numbers.

What AI does

It turns a fired rule into a sentence an owner can act on, drafts review replies in your register, and groups different sentences describing the same complaint.

Language only

What AI does not do

Ratings, mention counts, reply rates, review pace, rankings and thresholds are calculated directly from the records we sweep. Every figure can be opened and traced back to the source sentences behind it.

Every number is arithmetic on a record you can read.

Your data. No small print.

The public record we sweep: reviews, ratings, listing fields, menus and public posts. We also store the figures computed from those records and the actions you mark as done. Your account holds your name, email, phone number and the outlets you add.
