Cited by assistant and question type

Citation counts per assistant and question type. Counts only: a share would need a denominator that lives in the metrics store.
Chatbot	Total
Perplexity	4
Grok	2

Counts of answers, one per answer per domain. Persona columns are never summed into a single figure, and a citation count is not a rate: the denominator lives in the metrics store.

By market

Where the citations happened. Counts, never merged into one figure.

Citations of this domain per market
Market	Citations	Share of this domain's citations
FR	6

Every recorded citation of this domain came from one market: it is local to FR.

Over time

Citations per run. Search-grounded assistants reshuffle their sources between runs for reasons unrelated to anything we do, so a movement here is not on its own a finding.
