Referral measurement matrix

Starter Fix Sprint Referral Tracking Matrix

A machine-readable UTM and proof matrix for tracking which free-tool directories, widgets, newsletters, resource roundups, AI catalogs, feeds, and crawler submissions actually send visitors. It is a measurement plan, not traffic proof: every row stays pending until analytics shows visitors or a public listing exists.

How to use this matrix

Use the tracked URL for each directory, widget, newsletter, roundup, catalog, feed, or indexing action. After deployment, compare analytics source, medium, campaign, landing page, and referral evidence against the proof requirement.
