Intent is assigned when a query enters the corpus, so this split does not drift as results change.
How this is measured
Every query in the corpus is run once a week through one endpoint, from the United States, in English, with autocorrect on. A block counts as present when the response contains it — Google omits the key entirely when it renders nothing, so presence is unambiguous rather than inferred from an empty array.
