## Citation

LinkedIn (linkedin.com), 6.81% citation rate, 1,075 of 15,782 monitored answer runs, 2026-05-10 to 2026-09-18, mri_score_v2.0, mri_score_v2.0+2026-09-18+8fa38e54dd0a, https://machinerelations.ai/index/domains/linkedin.com.

## 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.
