Recorded citations for decision-intelligence questions
A bounded analysis of 3Dogs Citation Observatory records comparing branded and adjacent-query citations across named engines, dates and source domains.
Prepared by: 3Dogs Research · Reviewer: 3Dogs internal research review · Revision: 2026-08-18 · First-party review, not independent validation.
Evidence boundary. This analysis separates query-level observations, engine-and-topic aggregates, and the corpus-level rollup because those layers can overlap and must not be added together. This report was generated from candidate records only; the underlying probes were not rerun.
What this bounded corpus shows
| Layer | Routes | Displayed fields |
|---|---|---|
| Query observations | 7 | 42 displayed runs; 29 recorded 3Dogs-cited attempts; sample distribution n=6: 7 records |
| Engine/topic aggregates | 12 | Separate aggregate fields total 0 brand-question records and 194 generic-question records; these are not deduplicated unique queries |
| Corpus rollup | 1 | Separate layer: 30 recorded 3Dogs citations across 500 displayed records |
