The surface is structurally dispersed: no single actor captured a decisive share of AI answer openings over the period, and the spread from rank 1 to rank 10 is 13.88 percentage points.

Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI Overview · June 22–28, 2026
youtube.com — a platform rather than a specialist operator — holds the rank-1 AI opening share on this market in the period-wide ranking. That a non-yachting source accumulated the highest opening volume across 105 observed queries and 7 comparable runs reframes the question of who controls the AI primacy slot for Luxury Yachting Thailand: the surface is not yet shaped by specialist domains alone.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI Overview · June 22–28, 2026
The AI-answer opening layer across this market is wide open. Even the most visible actor on this surface shows only a partial share, and no actor has converted that presence into established authority on the AI opening-control rail over the observed period. The compressed mid-tier — where the 9 sources behind youtube.com range from 15.17% down to 2.57% — suggests that monitoring this surface over additional windows will be necessary to determine whether the opening-control distribution consolidates or remains fragmented.

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share on this market' measure?
- It measures which actor is cited at the opening of AI Overview answers — the source AI reaches for first when answering a query. It is not the same as general citation share (which counts all citations, not just the opening slot) and it is not an organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend for Luxury Yachting Thailand?
- No. This observation covers 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from June 22–28, 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 distributions.
- Why does a general-purpose platform lead the panel instead of a yachting-specific source?
- The card observes which sources AI reaches for first across 105 queries in this market. youtube.com accumulated the highest cumulative opening volume over the 7-run window. This reflects AI Overview behavior on Google desktop in Thailand during this period, not business-market standing or editorial authority.
