## Public Boundary

The public dataset reports citation rates, rankings, and evidence counts. It excludes internal query identifiers, raw cited URLs, and answer-engine provider payloads. MRI measures observed root-domain citations in monitored prompts; it does not measure all AI answers, recommendation quality, website traffic, or commercial performance. A citation does not prove source support, and MRI confidence is not an Answer-Source Fidelity grade.
