Steps to verify

  • Record the test URL and time.
  • Keep raw values and annotations separate.
  • Compare consistent distribution windows.

How to interpret the result

This annotates known tests, not a cleaned count identifying every bot or repeat visit. Do not exclude unknown requests arbitrarily.

Deciding what to do next

A few tests matter more in a small sample. Show the raw total and what you know about tests so another reviewer can interpret it consistently.

Feature scope

Clicks count short-URL redirect requests, not unique people, confirmed human scans, signups or revenue. Tests and repeat requests can be included.

Frequently asked questions

Are all tests and bots automatically excluded?

Do not assume that. Understand the request-counting scope and annotate only tests you can identify.
