Observed cohorts

Observed cohorts are logical groupings of domains within the curated .auDO panel. They help explain public domain-layer signals in context across related sets of observed domains.

They are not complete sector coverage, rankings, scores or ordered assessments.

Composition context

Cohorts are curated panel groups

Cohorts describe how the fixed .auDO panel is organised. They are not complete sector coverage and should not be read as sector-wide findings.

The suffix mix explains the .auDO panel groups only. It does not measure sector-wide adoption or namespace-wide posture.

How to read cohorts

A way to organise the observed panel

Cohorts group domains already included in the fixed .auDO panel by broad context, such as government, education, media, not-for-profit or commercial relevance.

Logical grouping

Cohorts are a way to organise the curated panel so public domain-layer signals can be described more clearly.

Aggregate context

Cohort views are intended to support aggregate interpretation, not unnecessary domain-by-domain comparison.

Not sector coverage

Cohorts are not complete sector coverage, ordered assessments, risk scores or labels of domain quality.
