# Ghost Traffic Observatory (AI Crawler & Agent Behavioral Observatory)

> Transparent, non-monetized, zero-PII machine navigation benchmarks, positional bias analytics, and long-term crawler telemetry archive.

## Research Endpoints & Benchmark Probes

- [AI Behavioral Intelligence](https://ghost-observatory.pages.dev/insights): Live analysis of positional selection bias, semantic deduction accuracy, and crawler topology.
- [Deterministic Navigation Lab](https://ghost-observatory.pages.dev/experiments/navigation-v1): 6-stage alphanumeric sorting challenge.
- [Semantic & Negation Reasoning Probe](https://ghost-observatory.pages.dev/experiments/reasoning-v1): 4-stage contextual reasoning and negated logic benchmark.
- [Dynamic JS Hydration Probe](https://ghost-observatory.pages.dev/experiments/js-render-v1): DOM hydration verification distinguishing Chromium renderers from static parsers.
- [Field Guide](https://ghost-observatory.pages.dev/field-guide): 25+ documented AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, etc.).
- [Behavioral Insights Dataset (JSON-LD)](https://ghost-observatory.pages.dev/data/insights.json): Structured Schema.org Dataset for researchers analyzing AI behavior.
- [Hourly Telemetry Aggregates (JSON-LD)](https://ghost-observatory.pages.dev/data/latest.json) & [CSV Export](https://ghost-observatory.pages.dev/data/latest.csv).

## Key Behavioral Insights
- **Positional Primacy**: AI agents exhibit a 48%+ probability of selecting the top link (Position 0) over lower candidates.
- **Static vs Dynamic Divide**: AI training bots operate as pure static AST parsers (<4% JS evaluation), whereas Search indexers execute full Chromium pipelines (>90% JS).
