A methodology-ready report for collecting manual AI answer snapshots and aggregating cited domains only when eligible evidence exists.
Citation-ready report pages separate observed evidence from AnswerRoute analysis.

Key findings
The manual snapshot schema is ready for cited-domain evidence collection.
No AI Hub cited-domain table is shown until eligible manual snapshots exist.
Limited data-backed status requires the configured eligible snapshot threshold.
Methodology
Import manual AI answer snapshots.
Validate citation URL domains.
Separate eligible snapshots from excluded or template rows.
Aggregate cited domains only from report-eligible snapshots.
Dataset status
Most cited domains manual snapshot dataset
Manual snapshot dataset is not yet eligible for cited-domain aggregation. Public counts require eligible snapshots.

Current limitations
Manual snapshot import is not a crawler and does not imply active monitoring.
Cited-domain frequency can only be shown from eligible manual snapshots.
Candidate slots are internal and do not create public candidate pages or citation claims.
Needs at least 5 eligible snapshots before a seeded cited-domain table can appear.
Limited data-backed status requires at least 20 eligible snapshots across 3 categories.
Cited domains table
Shown only after the seeded snapshot threshold
Rows are calculated from report-eligible snapshot seed data only after the minimum seeded threshold is met. Empty, draft, or sub-threshold rows do not create public cited-domain claims.
Data dimensions
What the report measures
Source evidence
Manual snapshots are the first collection path. Future crawler sources are not connected in this phase.
What is not yet measured here
No cited-domain table is generated until eligible manual snapshots exist.
No candidate-level mention total is copied from P2-A seed slots.
No future crawler source is treated as connected evidence.
How this becomes data-backed
Import at least the seeded threshold of eligible manual snapshots before showing a cited-domain table.
Reach the limited data-backed threshold across enough categories before changing the report maturity.
Keep observed snapshot aggregation separate from AnswerRoute interpretation and limitations.
