Dot size follows the square root of each step's volume; solid dots are requests, hollow dots are platform impressions, citations, and Organic Traffic; each metric is shown in its own unit.
The AI Platforms' arcs show the main crawl purpose; S9 is listed separately by Organic Traffic source, and the same platform's cumulative crawl volume is counted once in each.
S6 search impressions are approximate; S7 citations cover Copilot 7/22–10/8; S8 automated browsing covers 8/26–10/8; S10 is still being tracked. S9 Organic Traffic and crawler requests are counted separately.
