The two gaps
Covered but named nowhere: none.
Named by engines, no story in our monitored set: CertiK, CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, CoinTracker, DefiLlama, Dune Analytics, Koinly, OpenSea, Phantom — the wording matters: «no story in our monitored set», never «released nothing».
AI crawlers on our own origin — the block that exists nowhere else
| Domain | Days | Live, verified | Live, unverifiable | Rejected as spoofed | Crawlers |

What we could not measure, and how to re-check
- 17 brand-story rows were dropped by the homonym guard (a story counts only if its host is the brand's domain or the brand appears in the title) — short names like «linear» or «ledger» match ordinary words otherwise.
- Press attention counts describe our monitored set of 4 outlets over a 30-day story window (1000 stories), not the whole press.
- No causal claims: an event and a panel measurement appearing in one issue does not mean one caused the other.
- Re-check: evidence.json holds every number printed here; the index side is /api/history.json and /archive/, the crawler side is the daily journal this table sums.
