If you are going to be tracking stats you need to look at travel history, location DTV filed, home passport country, and type of DTV to list a few.
But it could be anything or nothing causing interrogation and/or denial of entry.

It has nothing to do with what country you received visa in it’s the IO you stand in front of there having a good day or a bad day or on that day are they supposed to scrutinize DTVs

That's actually a useful distinction to track. I'd also be curious whether the problem was the country they applied from, or their travel history after the DTV was issued.

When you say home country, you mean country of nationality or country of where you reside? I'm from UK but have lived in Japan for years, got my DTV in Japan. Never had any issues entering Thailand fortunately, touch wood

Tens of thousands have applied outside their home country. Choosing the correct country / embassy to apply at is somewhat crucial.
