Market implication

FAQ
- What does AI citation share on this market measure?
- It measures an actor's share of the citations recorded for the sources in this ranking. Each daily observation contributes its ranked sources, pooled over the window. The top 5 shown is the head of that ranking. It does not measure who opens AI Overview answers or how actors rank in organic search results.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend in AI Overview citations?
- No. This card observes a 7-run window from November 2–8, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. The period aggregate widens the evidence base beyond a single run, but it does not establish a multi-month trajectory.
- Why are platforms so prominent on this panel?
- The card observes which domains AI Overviews cite; it does not explain why. 4 of the 5 actors on this panel are platforms (social, discussion or general-purpose). This composition is the observed fact — the card does not infer editorial intent behind AI Overview citation behavior.
