How to read a pool report (and what to send to a supplier)

What the report contains

How to read the split

If more than a third lands in “avoid”, the pool is not what it was sold as. That is the number to send back.

What settles an argument

  1. The verdict mix, not individual addresses. One bad IP happens; a third of them is a pattern.
  2. ASN concentration. Ten addresses in one ASN means one rented block.
  3. The network type column. A “residential” pool full of hosting rows is self-explanatory.

What the report does not prove

It does not prove an address will be accepted by a platform. It proves what the network is — which is what a supplier can be held to.
