Methodology

Data source: CloudFront access logs for rozz.genymotion.com.

Bot classification based on User-Agent strings.

Training bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot) are distinguished from search index bots (OAI-SearchBot) and citation events (ChatGPT-User).

Citation events represent real user conversations where ChatGPT retrieved and cited mirror site content.

All data is from a single production mirror site; results may vary by domain, content volume, and vertical.
