A count of real people.
A sign-up only counts once the person confirms their email. Bots, throwaway addresses and repeats are blocked, and you can see why.
The waitlist is the heart of a smoke test: the number of strangers who leave an email is how you validate demand for an idea before you build it.

Questions about waitlist
Where do confirmation emails come from?
From your own domain, connected once on a paid plan. On the free month, sign-ups are collected but not confirmed, and you can export them as a CSV.
What if someone never confirms?
They stay in the list as waiting, and don’t count toward results or referrals.
Can I turn protection off?
The basic checks are always on. The rest you can switch per experiment.
