(1) For shared-payout listings the directory attributes the shared wallet's measured inflow to EACH listing in the group, so summing per-listing volumes double-counts the wallet — cluster-level 'sum' numbers are directory-reported sums, a lower-bound view of operator activity, not wallet totals. (2) 2 of the 126 services are flagged shared but their partner list is empty in this pull (partner delisted or unmeasured). (3) The payAI-facilitated 6-cluster may be a platform-level settlement address owned by the facilitator rather than a single operator. (4) 'Operator' is inferred from naming patterns (e.g. the loneestaroracle-* / *pulse / *edge family) — the directory does not publish operator identity.","headline":{"total_services":738,"shared_payout_services":126,"distinct_shared_wallet_clusters":23,"cluster_size_distribution":{"1":2,"2":10,"3":5,"4":1,"6":2,"10":1,"20":1,"46":1},"largest_cluster_members":46,"shared_30d_volume_usd_directory_reported":726.62,"shared_30d_tx":61679,"solo_services_30d_volume_usd":85559.57,"shared_share_of_measured_volume_pct":0.84,"shared_share_of_measured_tx_pct":1.49,"clusters_with_10_or_more_members":3,"two_member_pairs":10,"flagged_shared_but_no_partners_listed":2,"shared_services_that_also_rotate_payto_90d":["rwa-risk","stablepulse"],"one_line":"126
