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 panel. It does not measure who opens those AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend or business-market position?
- No. This card observes an observation period of 7 comparable scheduled runs from October 19–25, 2026. It does not establish a multi-month trend, and AI Overview content can vary by query, model, and date. It also does not measure business-market ownership or revenue.
- Why are there no specialist fashion operators on the panel?
- The governed top-5 panel is ranked by cumulative AI citation volume over the period. The actors that accumulated the highest citation volume across the 7-run window were all platforms. This observation does not explain why specialist domains received fewer citations — it records the surface as observed.
