Successful recorded reads: status 200/206, positive recorded bytes, Amazonbot and internal probe source records excluded. AI referrals: ai_attributed=1 OR first_ref_class=ai, with the existing host/UTM tiers. Verified-source does not mean verified human.

- Rolling windows overlap and must not be added. All ends are exclusive. Rates use actual elapsed duration.
- Named bot families and browser classes are user-agent claims, not authenticated organisations or verified people.
- API URL reads are a subset of machine reads, not a count of completed tool operations. Mirrored API trace records are not added.
- HEAD and other response-method limitations are exposed separately. Recorded positive bytes are not independent proof of consumption.
- Historical session labels are preserved. The 9 September faceted-scrape gate and 12 September unknown-client correction limit human-traffic comparisons.
- The September AI-referral projection includes the existing 2 September UTM reconstruction; original archives remain separate.
- Read comparisons crossing the 8 August response-status correction are withheld. Earlier raw totals remain visible with partial comparability.
- No count here proves that URSY sponsorship caused traffic, a citation, or a sale.

URSY sponsorship is a separate evidence chain: https://teas.co.uk/under-the-hood/sponsor-trail/data.json . Accepted origin emissions, tagged arrivals and paid outcomes must not be equated.

Daily observability archives retain their original vintage and units: https://teas.co.uk/under-the-hood/observability.json . Raw citation-surface records in an archive are not successful credited reads.
