## Settlement

Why this grade: An estimate the Tor Project scales up from the share of the network that reports, not a count. Shown, not settled on.
What it costs to move: Cheap for a few thousand. Standing up onion services costs little, and a botnet can add many.
When the source is late: Tor posts a day when enough of the network has reported; until then the day stays open. A day it never posts is void.
Precision: Whole onion services, Tor's daily estimate as published.
