How to read this
Inbound routing and SPF service references describe different roles. Provider names are shown only when they recur across at least three cohort domains. Smaller provider counts and privacy-sensitive distributions remain withheld. These are infrastructure associations, not supplier contracts or market share.

About this cohort

Selected Australian government domains observed for aggregate public domain-layer signal context.

This is a descriptive cohort view. It does not rank or grade organisations.

Source manifest: data/report_manifests/2026-09-10.json

  • Observed cohorts are curated public presentation groups, not complete sector-wide coverage.
  • Cohort summaries describe public domain-layer signals only and do not create ordered assessments.
  • Public presentation cohorts may be mapped from collection cohorts, inventory sectors, or explicit overlapping membership.
