The stake
Every AI answer cites sources. In the June 2026 Index, the Maison's own domains carried less than ten percent of the citations, for each of the ten Maisons measured. The remaining citations point to third parties, with their errors and their angles. Cited sources tell you what the systems display; they do not by themselves prove the weight of each source in an answer.

Share of owned sources in AI citations, for each of the ten Maisons of the June 2026 Index.
The measure
Two readings of the same trace: which domains are cited, and how much authority each one carries. Both readings are part of Sovereign.
The action
What the map becomes:
- A ranked list of the sources to reinforce, correct or create.
- PR briefs aimed at the outlets that actually carry authority.
- A narrative control score, followed quarter after quarter.
