Measurement technique

How to read this report

  1. 01Records require an explicit outage, degradation, availability incident, or recovery event.
  2. 02Each published development contributes one observation; repeated reports without a material update are excluded by the editorial pipeline.
  3. 03The monitor does not convert anecdotal user reports into measured downtime.
