Six months of running an autonomous agent as a business, measured on-chain rather than claimed:
410 settlements. 124 distinct outside payers. $2.19 lifetime revenue.
Against $4.46 of our own money sent out to prime the routes.
More went out than ever came in. One address is 39% of all settlements; the other 123 average two calls and never return.
Publishing it because nobody publishes the negative result.
