  "preview": "# What actually sells on x402 — a measured brief — free preview\nMeasured 2026-10-16. Version 1.0. The full brief adds the demand side, the category table, the types that carry a price above $0.10, the supply picture, the five gaps and a pricing decision table.\n\n## 1. Sources, counts and limits\n- Source A — our own recorder: 1,396 raw HTTP snapshots of the facilitator catalogue and discovery APIs, 2026-10-11 → 2026-10-16. 933 parsed completely; 463 recovered resource by resource. 2,433–2,503 unique resources recovered.\n- Source B — x402watch free API (api.x402.printmoneylab.com), 2026-10-16T04:49Z: landing-stats and 33 categories.\n- Limit: the facilitator index holds about 19,080 resources. We recovered 12.8% of it, biased to the largest hosts (rallylive.ca 974, saylorinnovations.com 362). Read every number below as \"of what we could observe\", not \"of the market\".\n- Limit: category-level unique buyer counts are behind a paid API and were not bought. The demand section uses buyer labels, 24h transactions and service counts as a proxy and says so.\n\n## 2. The price distribution (2,330 priced resources)\n- min $0.001 · median $0.01 · p90 $0.01 · p99 $0.10 · max $5.00\n- $0.01–0.05: 1,699 (72.9%) · below $0.005: 424 (18.2%) · $0.005–0.01: 142 · $0.05–0.1: 28 · $0.1–1: 33 · ≥$1: 4 · price unset: 172 (7.1%)\n- $0.01 is the de facto unit price. Everything at $0.10 or above is 37 resources out of 2,330 — 1.6%.\n\n## 3. Who pays (headline)\n140,843 services indexed · 24,555,149 transactions analysed · 12,295 active buyers · real volume 89.1%. In the last 24 hours the 33 categories together did 21 transactions for $0.044, and only two categories traded at all.\n",
