Each family contributes its observed strength × weight to the 0–100 Pulse. Missing families contribute nothing and are never renormalized, so an unobserved product reads lower — Pulse measures observed activity, not potential.

NTSC-RS's listed site resolved live when we last probed it on Jul 13, 2026, so we mark it verified alive. Its Pulse Index is 43.1 of 100, built from 2 of 4 observed signal families. Observed footprint: 10 functional tags. It has no curated competitive-alternative edges yet, so the comparable set below is functional tag-similarity — read it with the confidence flags.

Confidence reflects source and category coherence: curated = an editorially linked alternative; similar = strong functional tag-overlap in the same category; tag-overlap = shared tags only and may be noisy. Pulse is the observed-activity index real; a dash means the comparable has no observed signal families.

Funding & team

not in source

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.
