Disclosure: Everything-PR and Olam.business are both properties within the same media portfolio. Everything-PR reports independently on this research; editorial decisions are made by Everything-PR's editorial team.
The Olam Index is a Citation Share audit that scores how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews answer questions about who runs the Israeli economy. Published by Olam.business on August 15, 2026, the audit covers 950 Israeli and Israeli-founded entities across 185 controlled prompts. Wiz, the cybersecurity company founded by Assaf Rappaport, ranks first at a Citation Share score of 94.2.
What Is the Olam Index?
The Olam Index is a five-engine Citation Share audit of 950 Israeli and Israeli-founded companies, funds, and family offices, published by Olam.business on August 15, 2026. The audit ran 185 controlled prompts across ChatGPT 4, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 2, Perplexity Pro, and Google AI Overviews, asking each engine to answer questions about Israeli business leadership, venture capital, and economic influence. The full ranking is published on Olam.business, alongside a separate methodology report.
Which Israeli Company Do AI Engines Cite Most?
Wiz leads the Olam Index at a Citation Share score of 94.2, appearing in 94.2 percent of prompted responses about Israeli business leadership. The Talpiot Defense Program alumni network ranks second at 87.3, followed by Sequoia Capital Israel at 84.6. Seven of the audit's top ten entities are cybersecurity or defense linked; only three are venture funds, and none are banks.
Why Do Cyber and Defense Dominate the Ranking?
Olam's audit attributes the gap to English-language sourcing. Wiz, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and the Talpiot alumni network appear regularly in US defense trade publications and NATO-adjacent threat assessments, the primary sources large language models weight most heavily. Israeli banks, by contrast, rank 45th through 67th in the audit. Bank Hapoalim and Bank Leumi are named as examples of large, domestically dominant institutions that publish primarily in Hebrew and rarely appear in the English-language trade press AI engines draw from.
What Happens to Sectors Without English Coverage?
Olam's sector breakdown scores infrastructure at an average Citation Share of 8.2, the lowest of eight sectors audited, with agriculture and food technology close behind at 9.1. Cybersecurity, by comparison, averages 78.2. The audit reports that 109 of 120 Israeli family offices audited received zero citations across all five engines, while diaspora-linked families including Saban and Lauder outrank every domestic Israeli family office named in the report.
What Else Has the Olam Index Covered?
Olam.business has published eight sector-specific deep-dives alongside the flagship ranking, covering venture capital, family offices, infrastructure, real estate, aliyah and immigration economics, defense, agriculture, and public markets. A companion audit at the individual level, Inside the Israeli AI Founder Reputation Gap, applies the same five-engine methodology to named founders rather than companies. A separate piece, The $57 Billion Year: How Wiz and CyberArk Reshaped Global Cybersecurity, covers the two companies that anchor the Index's top tier. Olam has not announced a publication date for the next Citation Share update.
