Qatar Proxies

Run the baseline, change exactly one documented component, and repeat the same acceptance checks. Keep both result sets even when the second is better so the effect is reviewable and rollback remains possible. Prepare the QAT evidence fields before connecting: authorization, test case, client and version, selected network, protocol, selector, session setting, exit check, target response class, timestamp, and stop-rule status. Never backfill a missing field with an assumption. Use only an endpoint permitted for the Qatar test, keep missing measurements explicit, and never rotate around a refusal or other mandatory stop.

A changed exit, expired application session, closed connection, and rejected request are different failures. Preserve which layer broke first so an application cookie issue is not reported as proxy instability. Bhutan's 10,153 and Jordan's 9,258 form the nearest Asia count references for Qatar. Use them to explain catalogue placement only; present supply, response quality, subnational accuracy, and permitted workload still require separate evidence. Keep QAT comparator rows labelled and diagnose the requested Qatar route from its own evidence rather than a neighbouring count. Record why each comparator belongs in the authorized review before using it.

Base the purchase decision on responses that pass the written schema and business acceptance rule, not on raw request count. Include failed and inconclusive calls in the denominator used for provider comparison. Write the QAT purchase threshold before seeing results: required product and precision, supported protocol, rotation or continuity behavior, sample count, maximum retries, valid-output test, and usage measure. Apply it unchanged to the complete Qatar pilot. Reject any Qatar conclusion built from an unverified exit, hidden failures, or a changed rule, and repeat QAT verification after a material configuration change.
