Risk read derived from observed signals

The recorded URL now redirects offsite — often an acquisition, rebrand, or wind-down; the destination is recorded in the telemetry below. Pulse momentum is negative over 30 days (-1.1) — observed activity is receding.

Safari's listed URL redirected off its original domain (to https://www.oreilly.com/) when we last probed it on Aug 27, 2026 — we mark it redirected, not dead. Its Pulse Index is 24.2 of 100, built from 3 of 4 observed signal families. Observed footprint: 1 tracked press mention, 4 functional tags. It sits on the competitive-alternatives graph with 1 linked rival, so the comparable set below leans on curated edges.

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. Overlap is the shared functional-tag ratio (Jaccard) for tag-matched rows. Pulse is the observed-activity index real and 30d Δ its signed month change; a dash means insufficient observed history, never zero.
