Who read us.

Every named machine agent this instrument has recorded, what each was actually sent, and the browser sessions that arrived afterwards from AI answer surfaces.

An agent name is a user-agent claim, not a verified organisation. What protects the figures is behaviour: an agent that breaks the published rules is withdrawn from credit with its history kept visible.

Section 01

Every named agent, and what each was sent.

One row per agent, every column from the same table and the same window, so the row sums are meaningful. Byte counts are the content actually shipped, not page counts. Amazonbot's row is kept in full and credited nothing.

The 2 agents together: 633 attempts, 629 served, 0.2 GB sent.Served here counts the raw rule (status + bytes); the credited study figure of 629 additionally removes the withdrawn agent.

The coverage cross-check - this instrument against the raw access loguntil 7 Aug 2026 capture was gated to AI surfaces, so the raw log sees far more; both are published so the shortfall can be measured

Across the frozen log: 3,432,235 requests in total, of which 250,590 were named AI crawlers, 146,034 Googlebot and 21,801 bingbot.Instrument counts are live; the log column is a frozen 7 Aug 2026 reference. A ratio above 100% means capture has outgrown that frozen day.

A later request that returned to the exact anchor it was offered, at the strictest match confidence. The strongest evidence our own logs can hold that a read had anywhere to land — still not proof our name appeared in an answer.

Section 03

Where the arrivals came from.

Referring surfaceSessionsPages viewedProduct pages
AI-referred sessions only; the surface label is the recorded referrer class.
Why most recorded sessions are never called human: the session table classifies every row it has ever written as human, so that label cannot be earned from it. Of 1,508 recorded sessions, the overwhelming majority are desktop, one-page visits from scraping floods — recorded across 7 country codes and published as bot pressure, not readership. That is why this room ranks nothing by raw session count and treats only the AI-referred subset as separately evidenced.
Section 04

What was sent, and when.

The same source table across rolling and calendar windows. They overlap, so they must never be added. API reads are a subset of machine reads, not a count of completed tool operations.

Machine traffic: month, fortnight and last 24 hours

One study, one style, seven rooms. The legacy room addresses now land on the room that absorbed their content, and every machine mirror keeps its original path.
