Citation Evidence Report
Named in 0 of 8 tracked answers this week. This report is failure-inclusive by design: the number ships whether it flatters the brand or not, which is what makes the wins credible when they come.
Every tracked question is below, with who the AI named instead and the source names the engine cited in that answer. Where the engine surfaced no source chips for an answer, the row says so.

Where the answers came from
Aggregated across the 8 answers, the engine cited vendor-owned content, press (Business Insider, TechRadar, The European Business Review), Reddit threads, and one academic source (arXiv). These are the sources named in the tracked answers this week, not a guaranteed route in: presence in the cited sources is the evidence-supported lever, and a demonstrated citation flip does not exist yet, ours included.
How to reproduce this
Engine: ChatGPT web, model selector "Instant", one fresh chat per query, on 2026-07-08. Ask any question from the panel in a new chat and read the named brands and the source chips the engine shows. AI answers vary between askings; the point of a fixed panel is the same questions every week, so a change in the number reflects the answers, not the questionnaire. The full protocol is published with the AI Citation Index.
Interventions this period
Week 1 is the baseline row: no interventions yet, clock not started. From week 2, every action taken for the brand is annotated here at row time, so movement on the panel can be read against what preceded it. No annotation, no credit claimed.
