Research question
What can a merchant establish from the first house evidence baseline?
Proposed method
Connect the eight protocol/framework records, platform capabilities and six shopping-surface records through their documented roles. Treat the September snapshot as a starting reference, not a census of adoption.
What this cannot establish
No market size, revenue forecast or deployment count is inferred. Versions or prices without sufficient current evidence remain Unknown.
Publication gate — Research HOLD
Validate source scope, check unresolved conflicts, document the sample and review conclusions against the underlying observations. A finding may be published only at the level its evidence supports. Incomplete studies remain drafts, noindex and outside the production sitemap.
