# Category leaders dominate LLM source citations in B2B fintech

A pilot study by [[entity-digitas-uk]] examining B2B fintech payment solutions found that **more than 80% of the sources leveraged by LLMs originated directly from the brands themselves** — e.g. **Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, Visa** — because these brands publish large amounts of structured product-comparison and sector-led content. It is the clearest evidence that [[concept-prompt-authority]] is *won by* [[concept-machine-readable-content]].

**Confidence & external validation:** The **directional** claim — category leaders with rich, structured content dominate LLM citations in fintech — is consistent with independent GEO literature and technical observations about RAG/AI search (models lean heavily on high-authority brand domains, docs, and structured comparison pages; Stripe is a frequently cited example). The enrichment overlay could **not** find a public Digitas UK report with the **>80%** figure; **treat it as a private pilot metric**, not a published benchmark.
