Data Intelligence Layer
Also known as: data warehouse
The warehouse that records search performance, server activity, crawler visits, human traffic, and dated change history in one place.
The data intelligence layer collects what the website is doing from sources that individually only answer part of the question: Google Search Console, server request logs, AI crawler activity, human requests, and a dated record of every change made.
The value is in the join. Any one source alone is trivia.
Log-based sources depend on server access. Some hosting does not expose request logs at all, so what is collectable gets confirmed during implementation rather than assumed.
