Home Entry
Introduces the observatory, latest state, core pathways and repeated-observation model.
Visual site map
A human-readable map of the public .auDO observatory surface, showing how evidence views, learning pages and governance pages relate.
The primary navigation stays deliberately small. This page makes the wider hierarchy visible without turning every public page into a top-level route.
Hierarchy
How the public observatory is organised
The map is grouped by reader intent: start, observe, understand, read evidence and check project context.
Start
The main entry point and compact navigation routes used across the site.
Primary navigation 4 groups
The current top navigation is organised by reader intent and sourced from the authoritative navigation model.

Observe
Pages showing the fixed panel, cohort lenses and current aggregate State summaries.
Observation Panel Panel
The fixed observation panel, its composition and limits.
State of .au Current state
Current summaries for major analytical topics across the observed panel.
Observed cohorts Analytical lenses
Curated and sometimes overlapping lenses applied to selected domains already in the fixed panel.
Understand
Reference and learning pages explaining the evidence and how to read it carefully.
Signals Reference
The reference library for observed evidence, derived posture, provider inference and evidence context.
Explainers Plain language
Short pages explaining domain-layer concepts for governance, communications and technical readers.
- What is a domain-layer signal?
- What public DNS can and cannot show
- Registry, registrar and registrant
- What is domain delegation?
- What MX records reveal
- Why repeated observation matters
- What is DNSSEC?
- Why DMARC matters
- What is RDAP?
- Why name-server changes matter
- What registrar changes can mean
- Domain-layer governance
Read evidence
Report and archive routes preserving dated observations, periodic summaries and featured interpretation, plus substantive work using .auDO observations.
Reports Evidence
Research and analysis using .auDO Published uses
Substantive external publications that cite, interpret or build on public .auDO observations. Inclusion records use of the evidence and does not imply endorsement.
Machine-readable surfaces
Project and governance
Pages explaining what .auDO is, how it works and what it does not claim.
Reading notes
How to use this map
Start with the panel, view current State, apply cohort lenses, read dated evidence or learn what a signal means.
