Every number, its source, its status

Each figure on this site is listed here with the property it was measured on, the window, the source, a link to evidence where one exists, and the date it was last checked. Where a value is not confirmed, the status says so instead of the number pretending.

Where do the numbers on khadijazaman.com come from?

Every figure on khadijazaman.com is measured in GA4 or Google Search Console by Khadija Zaman, reported by a named third party, or cited from a published document, and this page lists the property, window, source and last-verified date for each one. Figures that cannot be checked from outside, such as the 22× LLM referral growth for a confidential client with no published baseline, are marked as headline-only rather than confirmed.

30 figures. 12 confirmed, meaning a named source and a verified date. The rest say what is missing. Machine-readable copy: /provenance.json. Method key: measured by Khadija from the named property; reported by a third party; cited from a published document.
