How we measure this
The brand-scoped component is recomputed from the trailing 30 days. The market component accumulates qualified AI-answer source appearances from bounded Perplexity probe cycles under method niche-ai-answer-probe-v1. Citation Share uses all qualified source appearances shown in this report as its denominator; it is a descriptive panel measure, not an estimate of every AI answer on the web. Only public source domains are published, never an individual customer's name or private metrics.
About the AI Citation Index
The AI Citation Index ranks the web sources that AI assistants cite most when they answer real buyer questions. For each source we report its Citation Share, the percentage of all qualified source appearances that point to that source. The higher the share, the more the models lean on that source.
