What is the current Visibility Score?
There is none yet. No platform has been tested under the published method, so the gauge shows a not-yet-scored state instead of a number.
When is a result added to a tracker?
After it has been observed, dated and evidenced with a screenshot, share link or archive capture. Those three things are what a row needs before it can be written.
Why do the trackers say "awaiting verified observation"?
Because no test has been run for that row yet. It is deliberately different from a score of zero, which means a test was run and the platform named nobody.
