Cited pages per prompt
also called Cited pages countPages cited in the answer
Definition
How many of your pages the answer to one tracked prompt drew on, the measure the coverage-gap and citation-attribution rankings are built from.
How it's calculated
A distinct count of your customer pages per prompt. The coverage-gap verb sorts it ascending, the attribution verb sorts it descending; both read the same measure on the same dataset.
Scope, grain and dimensions
- Grain
- One prompt for one tracked segment over one date range.
- Dimensions
- prompt · intent · answer engine · branded vs non-branded
- Required filters
- tracked segment id or tracker · date range
- Aggregation
- Reported per prompt and ranked, not summed into a total, the same page cited on two prompts would be counted twice by a naive sum.
- Metric type
- raw measure · cited pages

How to read it
Sorted ascending it is the coverage-gap list; sorted descending it is the attribution list. The same measure answers both questions, which is why the two verbs return the same field in opposite order.
Caveats, freshness and failure modes
A distinct count of pages, not of citations, the same page cited three times on one prompt counts once.
This is an aggregated cited-page count across all answer-engine runs in the period, not a per-engine sampled share estimate with a confidence interval.
A gap where every winner is third-party content is earned media rather than a brief for a new page.
Every figure is scoped to a tracked prompt basket, a sample, not a census, so the basket's coverage belongs beside the number it produced.
Prompt-level mention and sentiment enrichment is best-effort: when that leg fails the coverage answer still returns, with the mention columns empty rather than zero.
Both verbs require the market-share source; without it they return a stated note rather than rows.
- Freshness
- ~1 day behind, Daily prompt runs, available the following day.
Common failure modes
- Reading a zero as absence from the answer engine when the tracker has no segment for the requested engine, the verb returns an explicit no-data note for that case, and the note is the answer.
- Summing cited pages across prompts into a distinct-page total.
