How we count · since 2026-09-21

Unique documented article and editorial-review URLs checked on or after the start date. Menus, operator pages, community threads, review-platform aggregates, query counts and duplicate workbook versions are excluded. A mention is not an endorsement or selection. Card counts use the current restart workbooks, including September 19 checks.

The running total since September 21 is awaiting dated research records. The current workbooks record their article checks on September 19; a newer workbook revision is not a new article search.
