FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share captures which source AI Overviews reach for first when constructing an answer. It measures the opening-control position — who opens the AI answer — not general citation frequency or organic search ranking.

- No. This card observes an observation period of 7 comparable scheduled runs from October 12–18, 2026. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates. This observation does not establish a longer-term trend.
- Why are no specialist hospitality operators on the panel?
- The governed top-10 panel is ranked by cumulative AI opening volume over the period. The actors that accumulated the highest opening share across the 7-run window were platforms and publication domains. This does not measure business-market position or organic search presence.
