A provider-neutral route comparison can expose actionable friction without treating a challenge, catalog entry, or transaction as demand.
§ TestSmallest useful loop
One problem, one action, one result.
- Observed problem
- Route availability, settlement evidence, and attributed demand are frequently collapsed into one unsupported liquidity claim.
- Smallest test
- Compare two public test routes using the same contract and publish observations in their native evidence classes.
- Target actor
- Route operators willing to support a bounded test contract
- Requested action
- No public action until two comparable routes are available
- Success event
payment_settled- Live state
- staged
- Next gate
- Do not start until two comparable public test routes are available without uncontrolled spend. Review on 2026-09-29.
§ Lim.Present limits
What this experiment does not yet establish.
- No public action is open.
- Two comparable public test routes are not yet available.
§ ReuseExisting components first
The experiment assembles what already works.
- Observatory method
- Route Lock prototype
- Pilot provider-neutral gate
§ SignalCurrent public counters
The event and its source travel together.
§ KillPre-registered stop
A failed test earns a clear ending.
Stop if route identity cannot be bound independently or the test would require uncontrolled spend.
