Results methodology

Evidence that leads to
the next decision.

We separate operational delivery from search outcomes, label every cohort, and use first-party sources wherever they exist.

01 · The evidence ledger

From shipped to useful.

Each layer answers a different question. No single chart gets to stand in for the whole result.

A ruled tally sheet on a surveyed field: a datum line with a benchmark triangle heads four numbered rows counted in tallies; the measured rows carry a verified check, the rest stay open rings.The datum sheet

Read top to bottom

Four layers, four sources.

Every entry names the first-party source behind it. Where a source does not exist yet, the entry stays open rather than borrowing a number.

01ShippedDid the agreed work reach the selected CMS state?Source · Publish logs
02DiscoveredWas the page indexed or did it begin earning impressions?Source · Search Console
03ChosenDid relevant searchers click and engage?Source · Search Console + GA4
04UsefulDid the cohort support leads, revenue, or another customer event?Source · Customer analytics

02 · How results are measured

What a public result must include.

A credible result shows context and limits, not just the highest point on a chart.

Clear separation of observed facts and inference

06

No guarantee that another site will repeat the outcome

03 · What we don’t claim

001
Case study · open

Proof gets published when proof exists.

This current build contains no fabricated customer stories. The first case study should appear only after a real cohort has enough time, context, and customer permission.

04 · Private validation inventory

A placeholder is not proof.

The product has been tried on friend-owned sites, according to the founder. Until permission and first-party evidence are attached, the public ledger records only what is known and what is still missing.

Start the baseline

A result begins with a clearly defined starting point.

Connect the site and first-party sources during setup, then agree on the cohort before work ships.
