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 | |---|---:|---:|---:| | October 2026 | 5 | 16,496 | 0.03% | | November 2026 (to 2026-11-02) | 0 | 628 | 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](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/perplexity) | 5 | 8,365 | 0.06% | | [ChatGPT](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/chatgpt) | 0 | 8,247 | 0.00% | | [Claude](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/claude) | 0 | 8,285 | 0.00% | | [Gemini](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/gemini) | 0 | 6,883 | 0.00% | | [Google AI Mode](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/google_ai_mode) | 0 | 2,064 | 0.00% | | [Google AI Overviews](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/google_ai_overviews) | 0 | 1,267 | 0.00% | ## Peers Seminal.ai holds its best segment rank, #135 of 404, in AI Infrastructure / Is it worth it, at 1.12%. 39 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)
