generated from the observed metrics above · no external narrative

Craigslist's listed URL redirected off its original domain (to https://www.craigslist.org/area/raleigh) when we last probed it on Aug 27, 2026 — we mark it redirected, not dead. Its Pulse Index is 23.6 of 100, built from 2 of 4 observed signal families. Observed footprint: 6 functional tags. It sits on the competitive-alternatives graph with 3 linked rivals, so the comparable set below leans on curated edges.

No disclosed funding in our sources. Funding data covers only ~1% of the corpus (462 rounds across 79K products), so absence here is unknown, not zero— we don't estimate a number we can't source.
