Observed cohorts

Observed cohorts group related domains from the fixed .auDO panel so readers can compare current observations and recent change.

Cohorts may overlap. They are not rankings or whole-sector measurements.

Panel composition

How the panel is grouped

Cohorts group domains already in the fixed panel by sector or public-interest purpose.

A domain may appear in more than one analytical cohort. Cohort membership totals therefore do not sum to the fixed panel size.

The suffix mix describes these panel groups only. It is not a sector or namespace measure.

How to read cohorts

How to read a cohort

Each cohort is a grouped view of domains already in the panel. Some groups overlap.

Grouped view

Each cohort brings related domains together so common public signals are easier to read.

Compare the group

Use cohort counts and distributions to understand the group, not to rank individual domains.

Not sector coverage

A cohort is not a complete sector sample, score or measure of domain quality.

More context

Use State, Signals, Reports and Methodology for the wider evidence and definitions.
