What it means

When a brand sets a new all-time high on the CITE Index, it almost always reflects a fresh citation arriving on one of the three engines — a new ranking piece, a refreshed editorial, or a Reddit thread that the model has started surfacing in its answers. The chart shows the outcome; the source pool shows the cause.
