FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share captures which actor is cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer — the source AI reaches for first. It is not general citation share, and it is not organic search ranking. This card reads only the opening-control rail.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend on this market?
- No. This card observes an observation period of 7 comparable scheduled runs from September 14–20, 2026. It does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates, and future windows may produce different results.
- Why do platforms rank above specialist real estate domains on this surface?
- This card observes which sources AI reaches for first when answering 105 queries on the Luxury Real Estate Advisory Los Angeles market. The opening-control rail reflects AI model behavior, not business-market authority. A platform appearing at the top means AI chose that source to open its answer — it does not imply business leadership.
