Cohort

Not specified.

Semantics

This measures structured-citation sourcing visibility. A citation is not a recommendation, endorsement, authority score, quality judgment, correctness judgment, or consumer-app share.

Limitations

  • The board covers one fixed AI API Brands prompt category, not every topic or AI answer surface.
  • Query-specific resources collapse to their query-free page path to maintain the public privacy boundary.
  • Citation position is adapter-normalized structured-citation ordering, not prose sentiment.

Canonicalization

  • Start only from upstream-validated absolute HTTP(S) citations.
  • Derive the hostname from the URL; ignore provider domain labels.
  • Remove fragments and normalize default HTTP(S) ports upstream.
  • Remove the complete query string at the public page boundary.
  • Deduplicate each resulting page within one prompt/provider answer and keep its best positive 1-based position.
