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.
Does this card tell us who opens AI Overview answers on this market?
No. This card reads the AI Overview citation rail — which domains AI Overviews cite as sources. It does not measure who opens or controls the AI Overview answer. That belongs to a separate observation family.
Can we infer a longer-term trend from this window?
No. This is a period observation across 7 comparable scheduled runs in the November 2–8, 2026 window. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single 7-run window does not establish a longer-term trend.
