Executive synthesis

What the selected evidence establishes

1 of 1 profile pair has at least one direct declared edge; 0 are connected only through a reproducible multi-hop route. The packet carries 1 exact supporting edge and 9 source-custody records: 1 route-bound and 8 profile-linked only without aggregating the profiles into a score.

U.S. social-media referral traffic

Social-platform concentration based on U.S. page views referred from social-media sites to StatCounter-tracked websites in April 2023-April 2026. The series measures outbound referral traffic, not platform users, time spent, advertising revenue, engagement, or an antitrust market.

Research questionHow should the timing, scope, and competitive significance of the declared Observed by indicator between Social referrals and Market HHI be tested with additional observations?
Interpretation boundary

The workspace assembles canonical profiles and declared Atlas edges for research navigation. A direct edge preserves only its encoded evidence statement. A multi-hop route does not establish a direct endpoint relationship, make unlike measures comparable, define a legal market, assign ownership, control, liability, or causation, or prove a policy effect.

Profile-linked custody records document the selected profiles. They do not substantiate a selected pair route unless the same source also appears on a route-bearing edge.

Publication standard

A dossier records the evidence route before it frames the research question.

Every audience mode uses the same profiles, paths, edges, and sources. Only the framing of the next question changes.

  1. 01
    Declare the scope

    Name each canonical profile and retain its metric, period, status, and profile route.

  2. 02
    Separate route status

    Direct, bridged, and disconnected pairs remain explicit throughout the packet.

  3. 03
    Publish the boundary

    Carry source custody, edge guardrails, and missing evidence into every export.

Research handoffs

Continue in the underlying analytical surface.

The dossier frames an evidence route. Profiles, the Atlas, source dossiers, and public data remain authoritative.
