A week on the Stacks Vibe Index (3 of 8)

Stacks Vibe Index week test (slot mukrsai3842023af8b82): 15 paid x402 queries at 0.3 STX each from wallet SP30AVRNZVFK83WRJYYXVPRFPA18W7R62ZTVYRVX5 to the published payTo SP3PHGPE8G09FFBSH6NVM3J5S2118M8YA825HWQY1 (stacks:1), across 4 distinct UTC days (Sep 30, Oct 1, Oct 2, Oct 3), mixing all three paid endpoints with every parameter varied: pro/delta x4 (since=2026-09-27/09-29/09-30/10-01), pro/evidence/2026-09-21 x1, pro/projects/{slug}?days=30 x10 (zest-protocol-3672, tenero-021c, scaffold-stacks, bitflow-finance-af3b, stacking-dao, hermetica, jing-swap, leo, juiceofbtc, stacks-da51). All 15 txids confirmed tx_status=success on api.hiro.so with recipient=payTo; as_of of every payload listed in the evidence ledger. Findings: the delta endpoint is the decision-relevant one; evidence grounds weekly themes in citable posts but publishes with lag (week of 2026-09-28 returned 404 on Oct 1 and Oct 2 free probes); 30-day project history is the expensive route to what delta already summarizes. Recommendation: poll delta daily, pull project history on flags, pull evidence for published weeks only.
