How this was measured

Coverage is detection coverage, not a verdict — it counts the conversion tactics we could prove are present, out of the 11 that apply to a saas funnel.

Measured by Roentgen 1.21.0, one of our versioned rulesets. A capture is read once and its measurements freeze there, so the stamp says which ruleset read this one.

Walk 41 links seen, 18 walkable, 3 matched, and we walked 4 pages.

Absence is a measurement, not a recommendation: we do not know why a tactic is missing, whether it belongs here, or whether adding it would change anything. Where a walk stopped early, a tactic living deeper would also read as not detected.
