The pulse

The whole funnel, not the flattering end of it: how many times this store quoted a price (each 402 answered, as recorded — a count of price quotes, not of distinct agents, which this meter deliberately cannot count), how many purchases settled, and how many artifacts were re-checked afterwards. Organic only — the proprietors' own wallets and tests are flagged at the till and excluded, the same way they are excluded from /stats.

A price was quoted 70042 times (402s answered, not distinct agents), and 100 purchases settled. All time, since the meter went in.

THE SECOND COLUMN IS A CORRECTION, NOT A RESTATEMENT. Channel is decided when a 402 goes out and never revisited, so a crawler this store had not yet learned to recognise was counted as an agent — a monitoring bot that announces itself in its user-agent was doing exactly that here until 2026-07-26. The raw rows keep what each request arrived with, so they can be re-read with today's crawler table, and a walk on the clock does that over every row of the month rather than a sample of it. The recorded figure is left exactly as the counters have it and the correction sits beside it, because a number that quietly changed is a number you cannot check. An em dash means no complete walk has run for that window yet; a partial one is not published, since a window mistaken for a month is the error this mechanism exists to prevent. It finds machinery we can NAME — an unidentified crawler is invisible here exactly as it is everywhere else, so read the corrected column as an upper bound on organic rather than a certified count. The clients behind it are named in the office, not here: this page promises no user-agents and that promise outranks the feature. The correction walk last completed at 2026-09-13T12:31:27.492Z; it runs hourly and fails loud on a storage fault rather than publish a partial month, so this timestamp is how you see it recovered.

READ THE DENOMINATOR BEFORE THE RATE. A small number of 402s means this store has not been found by many agents yet, which is a fact about our reach and not a fact about the market. A conversion rate shown as an em dash means nobody has been offered a price in that window at all: that is undefined, not zero, and we will not print 0% for it, because 0% would say agents were offered something and declined.

House traffic (the proprietors' own wallets and tests) is flagged at the till and excluded from every organic figure. Family doesn't make the paper. Every wallet this store controls is declared, signed, at /house-ledger.json — subtract them yourself rather than taking our word for the split.

Machine-readable at https://scvd.store/pulse.json, computed live on every request from the same counters the keeper reads. Nothing here is collected for this page: the counters predate it, so the collection cannot have been tuned to flatter the publication. Every settlement counted here is expected to have minted a signed artifact, and that expectation is checked rather than asserted: the counter is bumped before the handler that mints, so a sale that settled and never delivered would appear here with nothing behind it. A delivery audit and an hourly walk of the chain look for that case; a find goes on /corrections. Check any artifact at https://scvd.store/api/verify/{id} against the key at /.well-known/scvd-signing-key, without asking us.

Aggregate counts only. No user-agents, no referrers, no wallet addresses, no per-visitor rows — this store keeps no cookies and no IPs, and a public funnel is exactly where that discipline would be easiest to break quietly.

What you can do with this

Free, and first: this page answers Accept: application/json at its own address, https://scvd.store/pulse — the same content as data, with no key and no account. The whole machine map is at /atlas.json.

Nothing on the shelf sells a deeper read of this page. What is here is all of it, free and complete. Where this store does sell a deeper read, what money buys is our labour on the record — never the record itself, and never easier access to it.

Or hand it to your agent. Paste this and it will do the whole thing without you: “Fetch https://scvd.store/pulse with the header Accept: application/json. That is this page as data — free, no key, and the same numbers a person reads.”
