A value on a band edge belongs to the higher band.","method":"Computed by the serve layer from the roster behind /api/agents (state/agents-index.json) on each new roster version; nothing here is a separate measurement. Checked on 6 November 2026 at 22:57 UTC against a direct query of the counted payments (money_events) over the same 30,440 agents: the same total ($52,137,627.21), the same three shares (0.4075, 0.6037, 0.7711), the same count in every band and the same medians ($9.15, 31 payments).","excludes":["Everything the counted payments exclude (pay.usd.total.v3): history before the registration, routing hops and loop returns, payments without a read receipt.","Agents below L7. Their counted payments, money that never left their control (on 6 November 2026, 559 agents and $4,266,235), are in observed_pay_usd_total but not in this total."],"does_not_assert":["That counted USD is spending: about half of all counted value went into positions the payers still hold (pay.composition.v1).","That an agent in a high band runs a working service, or that one in a low band does not: the bands count money and payments, not work.","That the agents with the most are independent of each other: one operator can run many of them (cluster.ratio.v1)."],"assumptions":"Each roster row's payment totals are the counted payments the headline figures use, grouped by the agent whose bound wallet paid.","known_gaps":"No history is kept yet: the shape follows the current roster, which is rebuilt every few hours.
