Keep the source data and the decisions separate. A downloaded backlink list is evidence to inspect; labels such as “suspicious” or “irrelevant” are judgments that need reasons.
Include the verification date and whether a link was actually checked on the live page. This makes repeat audits easier and prevents old tool observations from being treated as current facts.
