Pattern on the observed surface

The panel is top-loaded but not dominated
The panel is top-loaded but not dominated. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, yet the rank-1 share itself sits at 19.72% — a plurality, not a majority. The 9 sources behind YachtCharterFleet range from 12.95% down to 3.39%, producing a long, graduated tail rather than a sharp cliff. 8 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs; 2 opened AI answers in fewer runs. youtube.com is the only general-purpose platform on the panel; the remaining nine are focused sources. The surface is shaped by niche domains rather than aggregator or social platforms.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI Overview · July 6–12, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail in the period-wide ranking, yet its 19.72% share means that for every query where it opens the AI answer, there are roughly four where a different source is chosen first. The opening-control surface for Luxury Yachting Thailand is structurally contested: the spread of 16.33 percentage points between rank 1 and rank 10 coexists with a field where most actors appeared in every comparable run, signaling a surface where AI draws from a broad set of sources rather than defaulting to one.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI Overview · July 6–12, 2026

For any actor monitoring its AI opening visibility, the governed panel shows that cumulative opening volume is distributed across focused sources, with only one general-purpose platform present, suggesting that the AI surface for this market currently favors domain-specific content at the opening slot.

FAQ
- What does AI opening share on this market measure?
- It measures how often each actor is cited at the very opening of AI Overview answers across the market's observed query set. It captures the primacy slot — who AI reaches for first — not general citation frequency and not organic search ranking.
- What does this card prove and what does it not prove?
- This card proves which sources accumulated the highest AI opening volume across 7 comparable scheduled runs (July 6–12, 2026) on 105 observed queries for Luxury Yachting Thailand on Google desktop. It does not prove general citation share, organic search visibility, or a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future observation windows may produce different results.
- How is the period ranking calculated?
- Each actor's raw AI answer openings are summed across all 7 comparable runs in the window, and its share is its total openings divided by one single period-wide denominator. The panel is ranked by cumulative opening volume, not by an average of daily values. There is no per-actor eligibility threshold — rank comes from cumulative volume alone.
