Deep Report

Deep Reports add product analytics, DOM time-series, and API intercept to a Surface Report's signals.

Updated 2026-05-23·2 min read

Deep Reports extend Surface with three additional signal sources — performance, DOM time-series, and API intercept. Use them when a positioning summary is not enough and you need data on what is actually changing.

What a Deep Report adds

  • Performance trends — your own video and social performance over time.
  • DOM time-series — your product UI changes (rollouts, A/B tests).
  • API intercept — live product data captured from API responses.
  • Internal signals — product analytics and CRM data (Scale and above).

When to run a Deep Report

  • After a feature launch — see what changed in your DOM and analytics.
  • Quarterly review — track positioning drift versus competitors.
  • Before a board update — pull a single artifact that summarizes recent product motion.

Report-backed video activation

When a Deep Report has an activation-ready move, the report page can show an activation rail next to the analysis. The rail keeps the long-form report as the source of truth and gives you a compact path into production:

  • Review the recommended move and why it matters.
  • Check the source evidence count and supported claims.
  • Confirm the output capability before creating a Studio draft.
  • Start the draft with Activate in Studio.

Deep Report activations are strongest when the video should prove a real product workflow or product change. Calendar items created from the same activation keep the source label and proof cue visible.
