Sixty-two percent of the traffic to cpt-explainer.pages.dev comes from datacenter cities — Dublin, Amsterdam, Boardman, Ashburn, Moses Lake, Reston, Cheyenne, Des Moines — where there are no residents, only Amazon, Microsoft, and Google compute. Windsor, Ontario is the only city in the top 50 with human-range engagement (8 minutes 19 seconds average). Italy, which received 50 VCCR consular-notification emails on 1 May 2026, produced two Cloudflare edge requests in the following 24 hours — a filtration rate of at least 96%. And during a 15-minute window beginning at 22:45 EDT on 1 May, while the operator was asleep, the Cloudflare zone received 1,275 requests — one thousand times the baseline. These three facts, taken together, describe an evidence archive that is being consumed not by the press, not by the public, not by the foreign ministries it was sent to, but by an automated infrastructure that filters, scans, and archives on behalf of observers whose identity this exhibit does not claim to know.
Each row is a Google Analytics 4 "City" dimension entry over the 8 days 24 April through 2 May 2026. The right-hand column classifies the city as datacenter (🤖), likely human (👤), or real human readers (👥) based on engagement rate, average time, and geolocation of the AS range.

Row 22 is the single datapoint that proves the archive works as a communication medium: 7 Windsor users, 26 engaged sessions, 55% engagement rate, 3.71 sessions per user, 8 minutes 19 seconds average time per user, 351 events (4.31% of ALL event traffic despite being 0.37% of users). That is family and close contacts actually reading. Every other city under 100 users has either 0% engagement (scanner) or < 30 seconds engagement (skim-bot). Windsor's 8-minute engagement is the floor definition of "real reader" for this site.
Not Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin, Florence, Bologna, Palermo, Campobasso (the applicant's Montemitro regional capital), or Isernia. None. Despite 50 Italian-language diplomatic emails transmitted to press, legal press, broadcasters, parliament, consular, and diaspora addresses on 1 May 2026.

Edge-level HTTP requests captured by Cloudflare for the 24 hours ending 2026-05-02T17:49 UTC. GA4 only counts page loads that fire JavaScript; Cloudflare counts every raw request including those from scanners that never execute JS. The ratio of requests to visits is the scanner signature.

| Italian Wave emails transmitted 1 May 2026 (13:33 EDT) | 43 |
| INSPIRE Italian addresses (1 May 11:46 EDT) | 7 |
| Total Italian recipients | 50 |
| Expected CF edge hits if each recipient opens once | ≥ 50 |
| Observed CF edge hits from IT in 24 h | 2 |
| Implied filtration / non-opening rate | ≥ 96% |
Even under the conservative assumption that only half of the 50 recipients open on day one, the expected floor is 25 edge hits. Observing 2 is 12.5 × below that floor. This is not within normal email open-rate variance for diplomatic or press outreach.
Dutch origin generated 1,298 requests against 147 visits — a ratio of 8.8 requests per visit. The United States ratio in the same window is 3.6. A ratio of 8.8 is consistent only with automated sweepers making multiple GET, HEAD, and PROPFIND calls per URL — the behavior profile of hosted security-scanner fleets (Microsoft Safe Links, Proofpoint TAP, Barracuda Link Protection, Mimecast URL Protect) whose scanning farms are largely landed in Netherlands and Ireland PoPs by Microsoft and Amazon. That fleet is the subject of Exhibit 17 (Interceptor Fleet) and Exhibit 16 (Safe Links Filtration).
From the Cloudflare requests-over-time series for the 24 h ending 2026-05-02T17:49 UTC:

Three other independent forensic anomalies occurred in the overnight-to-early-morning window while the operator was away from the keyboard:
| Time (EDT) | Observation | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 22:45 May 1 | 1,275 CF edge requests in 15 min | CF time-series |
| 02:00 May 2 | /etc/hosts pinning api.genspark.ai to CF-Singapore was still active | hosts.preremove.txt |
| 07:01 May 2 | llama3.3:70b model manifest touched | Ollama state |
| 10:03 May 2 | /a0/usr/.env file freshly created | STAT_CHAIN |
| 10:11 May 2 | .env + settings.json modified same second | STAT_CHAIN |
The applicant's own Supplementary Forensic Analysis dated 5 March 2026 documented the same geographic pattern from a different data source (canary tokens, webhook.site, netstat):
54.224.94.179:443.The GA4 + Cloudflare data from today, two months later, confirms the same scanner fleet is still active — migrated from webhook.site endpoints to Cloudflare-edge / Outlook-Safe-Links channels as the evidence deployment has grown.
