What this example shows
- Organic traffic grows steadily while paid traffic oscillates with campaign timing — two very different growth mechanics.
- Referral traffic is small but compounds monotonically, never dipping across the twelve weeks.
- Turn on stacking to read total sessions instead; unstacked, the series overlap and compare individually.
