Pattern on the observed surface

The panel is overwhelmingly platform-shaped

Concentration is moderate — the top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined, yet the 4 sources behind facebook.com range from 14.76% down to 6.08%. The surface is distributed enough that no single actor commands a decisive share, but narrow enough that platforms collectively define the citation landscape AI Overviews draw from on this market.
