Troubleshooting

No analysis appearing:

  • Verify you have articles for the selected topic (check Explore)

  • Ensure date range contains articles

  • Check Operations HQ for system health

  • Try a different AI model if one is failing

Analysis seems generic:

  • Narrow your date range (fewer, more focused articles)

  • Use an organization profile for tailored insights

  • Choose a more specific topic

  • Increase article count in settings

Takes too long to generate:

  • Large date ranges (30+ days) can take 2-3 minutes

  • High article counts increase processing time

  • Some AI models are slower than others

  • Be patient—complex analysis takes time

Can't save dashboard:

  • You may not have write permissions

  • Dashboard name may conflict with existing one

  • Try logging out and back in

  • Check browser console for errors
