[[Consumerium Governance Organization]] will reveal '''link transit''' data to all [[Research Wiki]] users so that the most heavily referenced and transitted links will be obvious, and can guide further work to improve the [[GFDL corpus]] of information about those topics, and better document connections or relations between the topics on the most heavily connected of the pages.  It will be against the CGO's principles to let anyone control or hide this data.

=== use of link transit data to improve Consumerium Services ===
*identify common [[link path]]s people take through the [[Research Wiki]] and note if they take any action, e.g. registering [[individual buying criteria]] at the end of certain paths more often than others, i.e. what is influencing people to rule out certain [[types of countries]] or [[types of companies]]
*identify uncustomized articles (e.g. from [[Wikipedia]] or better [[Wikinfo]]) that are being referred to by Consumerium uses, assuming import like [[GetWiki]], so that more focused versions of these can be prepared in some priority order
*identify the articles people are often reviewing *last* to determine if there are turn-offs or confusions in the article base that could perhaps be made easier
*identify the average length in time or bytes of a typical "read" through several articles and see if there is anything that can be done to make it more focused or enjoyable
*identify when users call for [[help]] or use other [[command verb]] facilities to see if certain content is causing such calls more often than other content
