section,metric,count,pct,denominator,definition
headline,main_site_down,132,1.7,7999,the tool home page URL is among its dead links (exact-page match) - strongest abandonment signal
headline,first_party_broken_link,410,5.1,7999,"at least one VENDOR-PUBLISHED URL (website, docs, changelog, code repository) failed the probe"
headline,contact_only_pricing,1309,16.4,7999,"vendor publishes contact-sales-only pricing - a vendor choice, not a data gap"
headline,wrapper_dependence,315,3.9,7999,thin wrapper over another provider model
diagnostic,resource_link_rot,3421,42.8,7999,NOT A MORTALITY SIGNAL - counts ALL probed URLs incl. documentation URLs derived by our own pipeline; 88% of these tools have no broken vendor-published link
diagnostic,derived_only_broken,3011,88,3421,"tools flagged by resource_link_rot but NOT by first_party_broken_link - DENOMINATOR IS resource_link_rot, not the catalog; measures contamination from our own URL generation"
