It is the source's own wording, quoted as found, not a finding of this Index. ## Overall Evidence - Citation rate: 0.01% - Cited runs: 2 of 29,566 - Days cited: 2 of 158 - Engine breadth: 1 observed engines (perplexity) - Confidence: Collecting - Standing: collecting ยท 0.01% across 2/29,566 observed runs ## Observed Segments | Category | Question shape | State | Cited runs | Observed runs | Run dates | Rate | Standing | |---|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---| | [iGaming & Betting](https://machinerelations.ai/index/categories/igaming-betting) | [Top lists](https://machinerelations.ai/index/categories/igaming-betting/top_list) | published | 2 | 155 | 9 | 1.29% | #161 of 378 | ## Citation History ietf.org was first cited in a monitored answer run on September 21, 2026, and most recently on September 24, 2026, with cited runs in 1 of the 2 months from then to this release. The release window opens 2026-05-10, so an earlier citation would not show here. A month's rate is the share of all monitored answer runs that month that cited this domain. The latest month is still collecting. | Month | Cited runs | Observed runs | Rate | |---|---:|---:|---:| | September 2026 | 2 | 4,971 | 0.04% | | October 2026 (to 2026-10-21) | 0 | 11,579 | 0.00% | ## By Answer Engine An engine's rate is its cited runs over every monitored run that engine answered in the window. Engines answer different numbers of runs, so compare rates, not counts. | Engine | Cited runs | Engine's observed runs | Rate | |---|---:|---:|---:| | Perplexity | 2 | 6,847 | 0.03% | | ChatGPT | 0 | 6,735 | 0.00% | | Claude | 0 | 6,767 | 0.00% | | Gemini | 0 | 6,225 | 0.00% | | Google AI Mode | 0 | 1,830 | 0.00% | | Google AI Overviews | 0 | 1,162 | 0.00% | ## Peers Ietf.org holds its best segment rank, #161 of 378, in iGaming & Betting / Top lists, at 1.29%. 66 sources on that leaderboard share that rate, and their order inside the tie is not a measured difference.

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. ## Related Sources - [Machine Relations Index](https://machinerelations.ai/index) - [Public JSON artifact](https://machinerelations.ai/data/machine-relations-index.json) - [Release manifest](https://machinerelations.ai/data/mri-release-manifest.json)
