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 that specialist luxury-fashion operators are invisible to AI Overviews?
No. It shows that no specialist operator appears in the governed top-5 panel across this 7-run window. Other domains may appear outside the top 5 or on other surfaces. This panel captures 7 runs on an English-language, desktop surface in South Korea — a window too short to assign structural market designations or detect directional trends.
Does this card measure which source AI Overviews reach for first?
No. AI citation share measures how often a domain appears as a source inside AI Overview answers. It does not measure opening control or which source is cited at the opening of an AI Overview — that is a different family of observation.
