Question

A development team working on a historical racing game is researching defunct official websites of classic racing titles using the Wayback Machine. They discover that a major web traffic analytics company has been donating its large-scale web crawl data to the Internet Archive since 1996, with the data added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period. Identify this organization, name the specific crawl data collection it donates, and explain the public accessibility status of that collection.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Depth checklist

Alexa Internet + Identified as the web traffic analytics company donating crawl data to the Internet Archive since 1996

Width checklist

Organization name: Alexa Internet
Donation start timeframe: Since 1996
Recipient: Internet Archive (Wayback Machine)
Collection name: Alexa Crawls DR Crawl data
Access status: Data is currently not publicly accessible
Detail that data is added after an embargo period

Examiner rationale

The question uses a racing game development scenario (Deep context) to indirectly point to the Wayback Machine and archived web data research, requiring logical identification of the organization known for donating crawl data since 1996. It does not name the entity directly, masking it through functional description. The Wide component requires aggregation of multiple distinct facts: the organization’s name, start date of donations, the specific crawl collection name, the embargo detail, and the public accessibility status of the data.

Judgment

Better

BOTH

Score 1 - 0

First, Deep Logic: Agent A correctly identifies **Alexa Internet** as the organization donating crawl data since 1996. Agent B fails to identify the organization at all, explicitly stating insufficient information—this is a clear DEEP failure. Next, Width/Completeness: Agent A covers most required elements (organization, timeframe, recipient, embargo detail). However, it slightly misnames the collection ("Alexa Internet Archive Crawl" instead of "Alexa Crawls DR Crawl data") and incorrectly states the data becomes publicly accessible post-embargo, whereas the checklist specifies the collection is currently not publicly accessible. So Agent A has sub-point inaccuracies (WIDE issues). Agent B, meanwhile, provides none of the required checklist elements—failing both DEEP and WIDE. Finally, User Experience: Agent A provides a structured, direct answer with citations and contextual explanation, making it helpful and scannable. Agent B delivers a refusal-style response with minimal utility and no attempt at synthesis. Even though Agent A contains minor factual inaccuracies, it substantially answers the query and offers meaningful context. Because Agent A has factual errors, it cannot receive MUCH_BETTER. However, since Agent B fails the core entity and provides no substantive answer, Agent A is clearly BETTER.

The organization is Alexa Internet, a prominent web traffic analytics company [1]. The specific crawl data collection it donates is the Alexa Internet Archive Crawl [2]. Launched in 1996, this collection comprises large-scale, regular crawls of global web content, capturing snapshots of websites (including defunct classic racing game official sites) that complement the Wayback Machine’s existing archives [2]. The data is added to the Wayback Machine following a 10-year embargo period, during which it is restricted from public access to balance preservation goals with potential privacy and commercial considerations [1]. Post-embargo, the collection is publicly accessible through the Wayback Machine’s user-friendly interface, allowing teams like the historical racing game developers to explore archived web pages for research into past game promotions, community features, and updates [2]. However, access to unprocessed raw crawl data may require formal requests to the Internet Archive or use of its designated technical tools, as the public interface prioritizes navigable, human-readable web page snapshots over unstructured data files [1]. ## References [1] Internet Archive.

The provided search results do not contain sufficient information to fully answer this query. While the search results reference **Web Archive 96** as one of the first web collections created by the Internet Archive[4], they do not identify the specific web traffic analytics company that has been donating crawl data since 1996, nor do they name the particular crawl data collection being donated. Result [4] states that "the two institutions launched Web Archive 96" and describes it as capturing early campaign webpages from the 1996 U.S. presidential election, now available through the Wayback Machine for public access[4]. However, the search results do not clearly specify which of these "two institutions" is the web traffic analytics company in question, nor do they provide details about an ongoing data donation arrangement or embargo period. To properly answer this query—identifying the analytics company, its specific crawl data collection name, and the public accessibility status—additional sources would be needed that explicitly discuss partnerships between the Internet Archive and web analytics firms regarding data donations and their integration into the Wayback Machine. The search results demonstrate that the Internet Archive has been preserving web content since 1996 and now maintains over 1 trillion web pages[4], but they lack the specific details about the analytics company partnership that the query requests. ## References [4] https://blog.archive.org/category/wayback-machine/page/2/ - Internet Archive Blogs: Wayback Machine
