In 88 AI-Citation Leaderboards, Analysts Never Finish First
Today's Machine Relations Index classifies citations by source type across 88 published category-and-question segments. Gartner, Forrester, McKinsey and every other analyst or consulting domain combined lead zero of them. Their best showing is third place, in one segment.

The Variable That Decided Whether AI Cited Your Placement Wasn't the Outlet
A 995-answer test across six AI engines found placement citation rates moved by more than 2x on question shape alone — outlet tier never moved the outcome. Here's what that changes about how you judge earned-media spend.

Stop Building Your AI Citation Pitch List Around 15 Sites
The '15 websites own 68% of AI citations' number is still circulating. The Machine Relations Index's 23,280-domain measurement shows the real number a pitch list needs, and it is category-specific, not 15.

Two Engines Almost Never Cite the Same Source for the Same Question on the Same Day
A citation index can say a source is 'consensus' because five engines have each cited it at some point. It cannot tell you whether two engines cite it for the same buyer question on the same day. Measured on 2,704 question-days: they almost never do.

One HR AI-Citation List Is Live, and It Isn't Finished
The HR & Talent / how-buyers-choose segment crossed the Machine Relations evidence floor first. The rest of the HR buyer category is still collecting, which makes the first leaderboard useful but not a category verdict.

The #15 Most-Cited AI Domain Has No Source Category
In today's Machine Relations Index release, 189 of the 506 domains that clear the evidence floor carry no source role at all. Together they hold more cited answer runs than the entire rated editorial class — and the split runs straight through matched competitors.

In 13 Categories, No Domain Wins All Six Buyer Questions
Today's Machine Relations Index publishes 81 buyer-question leaderboards. Forty-four different domains hold the #1 slot. Reddit holds 19 of them and YouTube 10 — and in every category where all six questions publish, the winner changes with the question.

44% of the AI Citation Map Publishes No Rate Today — And That Is Not Zero
Today's Machine Relations Index release publishes citation rates for 85 of its 151 measurable segments. A rate can be missing for three different reasons — and one segment with no rate has more observed answer runs than a published one.
