Evidence
| Evidence | Class | What it supports |
|---|---|---|
| Footer-credit backlink census (Ahrefs index, September 2026) | derived | A floor on the number of distinct client websites that have publicly credited Navigator, with vertical and regional breakdowns. Credits first indexed 2015 to 2021 and 2023 to 2026 use the same wording and target, supporting continuity. |
| Public DNS check of nameservers for credited client domains (September 2026) | official | Independently reproducible confirmation, per domain, that a site is on Navigator's DNS or servers. Also shows that footer-link survival badly undercounts hosting (only 53 of the 111 hosted sites still carry the credit). |
