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 2026-10-22) | 7 | 12,045 | 0.06% | ## By Answer Engine An engine's rate is its cited runs over every monitored run that engine answered in the window.

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)
