A one-page reference of the five QoE numbers to capture (startup, rebuffering, bitrate, errors, dropped frames), the media-element event model that captures each, the beacon and CMCD transport rules, and the standards and pitfalls — with the core rule that only the player can measure QoE honestly and the closing beacon must survive page unload.
