The panel is top-heavy and platform-weighted
The panel is top-heavy and platform-weighted.

- Can this card prove a longer-term trend in AI citation behavior?
- No. This card observes 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single window does not establish a longer-term trend.
