FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share measures how often a given source is cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer — the first source AI reaches for when constructing its response. It is not the same as general citation share, which counts all citations regardless of position.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This observation covers 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from September 21–27, 2026. It does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different results.
- How were the values calculated?
- Each actor's AI opening share is the sum of its opening citations across all 7 comparable runs, divided by one single period-wide denominator. The panel is ranked by cumulative opening volume over the period, not by an average of daily values. AI Overview opening-control evidence was available on 7 of 7 runs in the window.
