FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share is an actor's share of the openings recorded for the sources in this ranking. Each daily observation contributes its ranked sources, pooled over the window; the opening excerpt of an AI Overview answer can name several sources. It is not general citation share and it is not a measure of visibility on any other search surface.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. It reads the AI Overview opening-control rail across 7 comparable scheduled runs in the November 2–8, 2026 window. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different results.
- Why do platforms appear at the top of a private banking surface?
- The card observes which sources are cited at the opening of AI Overview answers for Private Banking UAE queries on Google desktop. It does not measure business-market leadership or brand authority. The presence of platforms at the top reflects how the AI Overview surface selects opening sources for these queries during this window.
