## Detection Logic

```python
def detect_third_party_services(signals):
    results = []

    # JavaScript/Script Tag Detection
    for script_url in signals.javascript_signals.script_urls:
        for service in THIRD_PARTY_SERVICES:
            for pattern in service.script_patterns:
                if pattern in script_url:
                    add_service(results, service.name, service.category, {
                        "type": "script_url",
                        "value": script_url,
                        "weight": service.weight
                    })

    # JavaScript Global Detection
    for global_var in signals.javascript_signals.globals:
        for service in THIRD_PARTY_SERVICES:
            if service.global_var and service.global_var in global_var:
                add_service(results, service.name, service.category, {
                    "type": "js_global",
                    "value": global_var,
                    "weight": service.weight
                })

    # CSP Domain Detection
    if signals.http_signals.csp:
        csp_domains = extract_domains(signals.http_signals.csp)
        for domain in csp_domains:
            for service in THIRD_PARTY_SERVICES:
                if any(pattern in domain for pattern in service.domain_patterns):
                    add_service(results, service.name, service.category, {
                        "type": "csp_domain",
                        "value": domain,
                        "weight": service.weight - 10  # Slightly lower weight
                    })

    # DNS TXT Record Detection
    for txt in signals.dns_signals.txt_records:
        for service in THIRD_PARTY_SERVICES:
            if service.txt_pattern and service.txt_pattern in txt:
                add_service(results, service.name, service.category, {
                    "type": "dns_txt",
                    "value": txt,
                    "weight": service.weight
                })

    # Job Posting Detection
    if signals.job_signals:
        for tech_mention in signals.job_signals.tech_mentions:
            for service in THIRD_PARTY_SERVICES:
                if service.name.lower() in tech_mention.technology.lower():
                    add_service(results, service.name, service.category, {
                        "type": "job_posting",
                        "value": f"Mentioned in job postings",
                        "weight": 20  # Lower weight for job signals
                    })

    return results
```

## Confidence Notes

Third-party detection confidence varies by signal type:

| Signal Type | Confidence | Notes |
|-------------|------------|-------|
| Script URL | High (90%) | Direct integration |
| JS Global | High (85%) | Library loaded |
| CSP Domain | Medium (75%) | May be unused |
| DNS TXT | High (90%) | Official verification |
| Job Posting | Low (60%) | May be planned/legacy |

## Error Handling

- Missing scripts: May indicate server-side only integration
- Multiple analytics: Common - report all
- Deprecated services: Note if detected
