What to change
Inspect the configuration before concluding that the partner sent no visitors. Ask why the exclusion was added and whether the domain still plays the same role. A transactional intermediary and an acquisition partner should not be assumed equivalent. Use a fictional visit from the exact public link to demonstrate the present treatment, then decide whether the setting or the report interpretation needs correction. Preserve the change record for future comparisons.
A worked example
Illustrative example
Illustrative test: A reviewer can explain where the partner-origin test appears under the current setup.
How to check the result
The report describes configured treatment rather than interpreting a missing row as zero traffic.
A mistake to avoid
Historical source information cannot necessarily be reconstructed after changing a setting.

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
