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 AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend in AI citation behavior?
- No. This card observes an observation period of 6 comparable scheduled runs from July 6–12, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. The period aggregate widens the evidence base beyond a single run but does not establish a multi-month trajectory.
- Why are there no specialist fashion operators on the panel?
- The governed top-5 panel is ranked by cumulative AI citation volume across the 6-run window. The actors that accumulated the most citations were platforms and one focused source. This card does not explain why specialist operators are absent — it observes that they are.
