## Citation History

theviablesource.com was first cited in a monitored answer run on September 25, 2026, and most recently on October 17, 2026, with cited runs in 2 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% |

## 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.

## 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.
