+## Data Collection Methodology
+
+### Pull Request Counting
+
+All contributor statistics count only **merged** pull requests.
+The counts exclude the following pull request statuses.
+- Open pull requests (still under review)
+- Closed but not merged pull requests (rejected)
+
+This ensures statistics reflect actual contributions to the codebase.
+
+**Exception**: PR interaction statistics (`plone_pr_interactions.py`) count all interactions (comments, reviews) on any PR, regardless of merge status, to accurately capture community engagement.
+
+### Commit Counting
+
+Commits are counted from the default branch only, which automatically includes:
+- Direct commits to the default branch
+- Commits from merged pull requests
+
+This excludes commits on unmerged branches or rejected pull requests.
