Distinguish sources from search results.
A cited source domain and a domain appearing in related search results are different returned fields. Preserve that distinction in analysis and reporting.
AI source analysis · returned context
Review sources, search results, Top Pages, and Top Domains only where the selected LLM Mentions operation returns them. A returned source is evidence for that result; an absent source is not proof of exclusion.
Direct answer
Review sources, search results, Top Pages, and Top Domains only where the selected LLM Mentions operation returns them. A returned source is evidence for that result; an absent source is not proof of exclusion.
Keep the selected provider, target, operation, locale, and returned fields attached to every interpretation.

A cited source domain and a domain appearing in related search results are different returned fields. Preserve that distinction in analysis and reporting.
Top Domains helps orient domain-level source evidence, while Top Pages can narrow the view to returned pages. Neither is an exhaustive crawl or citation index.
A repeated source may justify a content or technical investigation, but the returned record alone does not establish causation or guarantee future citation.
Record the provider, target, operation, location, language, and returned fields. The result is bounded evidence—not a guarantee, attribution model, exhaustive index, or automatic optimization outcome.
