INTERPRETATION BOUNDARY

Bing Webmaster Tools describes AI Performance as aggregated, summarized,
and sampled reporting. The daily overview, page export, and grounding-query
export are separate views. Their totals are not combined or presented as
parts of one reconciled denominator. The August 9 dashboard screenshot is
an earlier rounded record; the later overview export supplies the exact
35,310 aggregate used in the report.
