Mercury Reader's site could not be verifiably probed when we last probed it on Aug 27, 2026, so its status is unverified — we do not guess. Its Pulse Index is 14.7 of 100, built from 2 of 4 observed signal families. Observed footprint: 2 functional tags. It sits on the competitive-alternatives graph with 1 linked rival, so the comparable set below leans on curated edges.
