Cross-tracker check

Comparing independent trackers of x402 activity

We cross-check every top merchant's transaction share against the facilitators tracked by agenteconomy.to — a merchant carrying a big share of volume while absent from every tracked facilitator would mean one tracker sees volume the others can't.

Checked 0 top merchants against 6 tracked facilitators — no divergence above threshold in this snapshot.
