FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share is an actor's share of the openings recorded for the sources in this ranking. Each daily observation contributes its ranked sources, pooled over the window; the opening excerpt of an AI Overview answer can name several sources. It is not general citation share and it is not a measure of search-results visibility.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. It covers 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window from November 2–8, 2026. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different results.
- Why do social platforms rank above fashion-specific domains?
- This card observes which sources are cited at the opening of AI Overview answers — it does not measure editorial quality, brand authority, or business-market position. The observed surface reflects the sources the AI model selected for opening excerpts on this governed market panel during this window.
