Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Yachting Italy / Amalfi Coast · Amalfi / Capri / Positano · AI citation · Sep 28 – Oct 4, 2026
The panel is platform-heavy
The panel is platform-heavy: four of the five actors are social or general-purpose platforms, with only one focused source — YachtCharterFleet — breaking into the governed top-5. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 2 combined, concentrating the citation surface toward the upper portion of the panel. The trailing gap span tells the structural story: the 4 sources behind youtube.com sit between 1.51 and 12.48 percentage points behind it, producing a panel that tapers steadily rather than clustering at any single level. 3 of the 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs; 2 were cited in fewer runs — a split that separates the top three from the bottom two on presence as well as share.
