Method
- websearch-grouped-site-batch
A match counts only if the outlet’s own article is about this story, not a passing mention. “Not found” means not found by these methods; search engines index only part of each site. Stories are rechecked daily for pickups; the score itself is locked to coverage as of our publish date.
