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 prove which actor opens AI Overview answers or ranks highest in organic search results?
No. This card reads the AI Overview citation rail only — who AI Overviews cite as a source. It does not measure who opens AI answers (a separate family) and makes no claim about organic search ranking.
How confident should a reader be in these positions?
With 7 runs observed, this window sits below the threshold needed for a definitive structural assessment — the patterns described here reflect observed conditions only and should not be read as confirmed long-term positions.
