Propagation curves are not linear. New content typically reaches initial indexing within hours to days, training-corpus integration within weeks, and full inference saturation within months. Each phase has its own timeline and its own observable signals.
The IEO Engine deployment timeline maps to predictable propagation curve phases. Day 1-7 is initial discovery and indexing. Day 7-30 is propagation across the broader AI ecosystem. Day 30+ approaches steady-state inference behavior. Buyers evaluating methodology should reference Day 30 outcomes rather than Day 5 snapshots.
