FAQ
- What does 'AI citation share on this market' measure?

- How were the values aggregated across the window?
- Raw AI citations for each actor were summed across all 7 comparable runs in the August 3–9, 2026 window, and each actor's share is its total citations divided by one single period-wide denominator. The ranking reflects cumulative citation volume over the period, not an average of daily values.
- Can this card confirm a longer-term pattern?
- This panel is based on 7 observation runs over a one-week range — enough to identify positioning patterns, but not yet sufficient to confirm longer-term structural positions. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date; future windows may produce different compositions.
