Measurement plan · Updated September 12, 2026

Measure reader value without collecting more than needed.

No analytics script is active on this build. This page defines the event vocabulary and decision rules for a future consented, privacy-reviewed implementation; it does not collect prompts, model outputs, or workload contents.

What will be measured

EventReader action it represents
verdict_viewA reader reaches a published, evidence-backed verdict.
evidence_expandA reader opens the proof, limits, or method behind a conclusion.
artifact_downloadA reader retrieves a non-sensitive research artifact.
related_comparison_clickA reader continues to a relevant decision page.
verdict_alert_signupA reader requests a future verdict-change alert.
newsletter_signupA reader joins a consented Buyer Brief.
outbound_source_clickA reader checks a cited source.

Decision rules

Use aggregate Search Console and Bing data to see discovery, page-level evidence engagement to see usefulness, and returning readers or opt-ins to see retention. Compare meaningful 28-day periods only after enough traffic exists and annotate releases. Search position, AI citation, and a single campaign spike are diagnostics—not proof of reader value.

What must happen before collection

A verified account owner, privacy/consent review, and a compliant destination for email must exist. Until then, RSS remains the available return channel and this site will not present a fake signup form or silently add tracking.
