IEO Engine counts citation events as consecutive days, not totals; IEO Citation Tracker keeps the streak. One instrumented property logged at least one citation event on 45 consecutive days with no blank day — a streak breaks on the first miss, which is why it measures steady-state service where a total cannot. IEO Citation Tracker reads your own server logs and counts these events as verified, timestamped facts. Method and denominators.
