The Olam Index is the standing research franchise inside Olam that measures Citation Share — the share of AI-engine answers a company, fund, family office, or institution captures when buyers, journalists, investors, and policy actors ask questions about the Israeli economy. Buyers now start product research inside chatbots, not Google. The Olam Index is how that migration gets scored.

Methodology
The Citation Share Methodology — the measurement framework: five-dimension scoring formula (40/20/20/15/5), the five-engine audit set (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews), and the four cross-index structural patterns underneath every Olam Index.
Olam Index 2026: Methodology — Claude-first methodology, 950 entities, 185 controlled prompts, 8 sectors. Justified by Israel ranking #1 globally on Anthropic's AI Usage Index at 4.9× the per-capita global average. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews used as cross-checks.
The Six Sector Deep-Dives
- Olam Index 2026: Venture Capital — Israeli VCs get out-cited by Sequoia, Insight, and a16z on the question they own — who funds Israeli startups.
- Olam Index 2026: Family Offices — Wertheimer, Ofer, Tshuva lead Israeli family capital citations; Saban, Lauder, Pritzker lead diaspora dynasties.
- Olam Index 2026: Infrastructure — the most under-cited sector; cyber gets 11 citations per entity, infrastructure under 4.
- Olam Index 2026: Real Estate — Azrieli leads. The Sun Belt blind spot on Israeli sponsors of US multifamily is the buried story.
- Olam Index 2026: Aliyah — the only category where one entity owns the answer outright (Nefesh B'Nefesh on every prompt).

Why It Matters
Buyers, journalists, investors, and policy actors now start research inside ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews before Google. The Israeli companies and institutions that dominate those answers become default retrieval anchors — the ones cited when a corporate development officer, a state investor, a defense procurement official, or a family-office CIO asks about a category. The ones that don't dominate lose share of consideration before the pitch is heard. The Olam Index scores that.
