How do I manually check checkpoints with the "N/A" status?

When automatic verification wasn't possible (WAF, not enough data), an "N/A" checkpoint includes manual verification instructions - where to find them and the typical paths (Tag Assistant, Realtime report).

When "N/A" results from the impossibility of automatic verification (rather than business scope), we don't leave you with a blank spot in the report - every such checkpoint includes manual verification instructions.

Where to find the instructions

1.In the report, click the checkpoint with the "N/A" status (the status tooltip hints: "click to see how to check manually").
2.The expanded view contains: what couldn't be verified and why, the expected state (how it should be configured), and the manual verification steps - usually a path in the GA4 panel ("Admin → …") or a diagnostic tool.
3.Most checkpoints also link to Google's official documentation for the area.

Typical causes and typical manual paths

The site scan was blocked (WAF, anti-bot protection).

Site-verified checkpoints (tag presence, duplication, Consent Mode) can be checked yourself with Google Tag Assistant - open your site in it and watch which tags load and what events they send. Alternatively: GA4's Realtime report during your own visit to the site.

Not enough data in the property.

Checkpoints analyzing 30 days of data (event continuity, the funnel, channel conversions) need history. A fresh property gets "N/A" here - come back with a rescan after 2-4 weeks of data collection.

An area requiring contextual judgment.

Some configuration aspects depend on business specifics in ways an automated check can't responsibly resolve - in those cases you get criteria for your own assessment instead of a verdict.

Can manually verified checkpoints be "ticked off" in the report

A checkpoint's result in the report comes from automatic verification and can't be edited by hand - the report stays an objective snapshot of the state on the day of the examination.
