Method & limits
Scope: this ledger is the retail edge (seosink.com's own protection surface) plus every free check run. Estate-wide attack telemetry merges into these reports in a later release — the numbers here are exact for what they measure, and they are a floor, not a ceiling.
Detail that would teach the attacking farm what we can see — fingerprints, source IPs, target properties — is aggregated or held back 30 days. Counts are always exact.
