The panel is top-heavy
The panel is top-heavy: the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined. The 9 sources behind Villa Experience range from 16.53% down to 2.22%, producing a steep drop-off after the rank-1 position. Two social platforms — youtube.com and facebook.com — appear in the governed panel alongside niche domains, but neither cracks the top half by cumulative opening volume. 6 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs; 4 opened AI answers in fewer runs, indicating that presence on this opening-control surface is not uniform across the window.
