The panel shape is compressed

The spread from rank 1 to rank 5 is 5.55 percentage points — a narrow band for a five-actor panel. All five actors were cited in all 7 comparable runs, producing a surface where every actor carried a citation signal on every observation. The structure is one of distributed citation rather than top-heavy concentration.

FAQ
- What does AI citation share on this market measure?
- It measures how often an actor's domain appears as a cited source inside AI Overview answers across the market's observed query set. It does not measure who opens those AI Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Can this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes a 7-run window from August 31 (Aug 31 – Sep 6, 2026). AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. The period aggregate widens the evidence scope beyond a single run, but it does not establish a multi-month trajectory.
- Why does a platform hold the rank-1 position rather than a specialist domain?
- AI Overviews select sources based on the model's own criteria, which may include video or user-generated content. youtube.com's rank-1 position reflects cumulative citation volume over the period, not a judgment about domain specialization.
