NATS tracks data differently, depending on how you set it up.
Some people track 'raw' data, and others only track 'qualified' data. Qualified means it passed all of the pre-registration bits to actually attempt to signup. Raw could be anything. The difference between Raw and Qualified is essentially ratio based - raw could be garbage/bot traffic thrown that will make yoru ratios look like shit, and qualified tracks only the data which was actually 'good enough' to be sent through (if applicable) to the prejoin form.
Personally, I prefer qualified because it gives you real numbers, but it will never match 'raw' traffic as you see from a traffic broker.
