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 answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.

- The governed top-5 panel is determined by cumulative AI citation volume across the 5-run window. No specialist fashion operator accumulated enough citations to appear in the top 5. This card does not explain why — it observes the surface as it appeared.
- Can this observation establish a longer-term pattern?
- No. This card covers an observation period of 5 comparable scheduled runs from September 7–13, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single window does not establish a multi-month pattern.
