Method
The collector resolved unique same-domain anchor destinations in each sampled HTML response. Fragments were removed and duplicate destinations counted once.
Counts are interpreted with the page's role. A high count on a listing page can reflect healthy discovery or repetitive cards; the destination set must be reviewed alongside the number.
Observed evidence

- The guides index exposed the largest destination set.
- Individual content pages linked mainly through shared chrome and one CTA.
- There was no dedicated evidence-lab path or related-study graph.
Decision and resulting changes
Add a Field Lab destination to primary navigation, link each study to the raw dataset, and surface related studies by decision topic rather than publication date.
- Added Field Lab navigation and index.
- Added raw evidence links to every report.
- Replaced homepage volume claims with observed study provenance.
Limits and reproduction
Re-run automation/evidence_collector.py against the public origin and compare the resulting JSON fields. A difference is evidence of a changed response, not automatically an improvement.
- This audit counts destinations, not click prominence or user comprehension.
- Client-generated links after interaction are outside the measurement.
