Week-0 Baseline Dataset

The frozen starting point for the Automated Marketing Department field test · test procedure → section 07

n = 54 Treatment 27 Control 27 8 strata (2 networks) frozen July 05, 2026 00:08 UTC

What this is. A stratified sample of 54 owned sites drawn across the WholeTech + WholeVoyage networks, split ~50/50 into a treatment group (the engine's fixes will be applied over the coming weeks) and a matched control group (left untouched). Every score is a live read from POST /api/analyze; every traffic figure is real AWStats data. Nothing here is estimated or hand-entered. Week 2 / 4 / 8 re-runs diff against the raw baseline.json.

27Control

89.1 / 89.3Mean overall — T / C

5,692 / 4,916Mean all-time hits — T / C

2,481 / 1,998Mean last-mo hits — T / C

Group balance (the whole point of week 0)

Treatment and control were assigned by a deterministic parity rule inside each stratum, so the two arms start from near-identical footing. Mean baseline overall differs by just 0.2 points; the traffic means are the same order of magnitude. Any divergence at week 2 / 4 / 8 is therefore attributable to the intervention, not to a lopsided starting sample.

Metric	Treatment	Control	Δ
Sites	27	27	0
Mean overall score	89.1	89.3	-0.2
Mean all-time hits	5,692	4,916	+776
Mean last-month hits	2,481	1,998	+483

Score distribution: 90-100 = 28 · 80-89 = 26. Last-month = 2026-06 (most recent complete AWStats month).

Frame = 169 owned live sites across the 8 named clusters (of 245 live total; dev/backup/auth-walled subdomains and out-of-scope personal/fan sites excluded). Tiers split at all-time-hits terciles: low ≤ 1,665, high ≥ 6,651.
