  "calculation": "Read as the per-domain competitor column for the chosen domain under the AI Overview results-page feature filter. The semantic layer sums that domain's per-row page column and divides by the number of distinct observed days, and its own label calls the result an average daily page count. Confirmed against the product's own display on a live tenant.",
