How Mercury works
A recommendation is a versioned evidence record.
Mercury binds every commercial claim to current evidence and stops when price, capacity, link, provider, or settlement facts drift.
1. Import eligible offers
Forge and Atlas expose read-only projections. Creative previews, closed checkout, full capacity, stale pricing, and unsupported claims are rejected.
2. Research the buying decision
Content begins with a real operating problem. Every commercial claim maps to stored evidence; uncertainty stays visible.
3. Demonstrate the workflow
Real interface captures, calculations, and product steps come before generated media. Duplicate topics, scripts, thumbnails, and destinations are held.
4. Disclose the relationship
Forge and Atlas are owner-operated. Any future outside affiliate link must have owner-approved terms and a clear commission disclosure.
5. Attribute without fingerprinting
Branded links use a first-party 30-day reference. Mercury does not fingerprint visitors or sell personal browsing profiles.
6. Count only settlement
Direct affiliate commissions and assisted Forge or Atlas revenue remain separate. Failed payments, owner tests, refunds, reversals, and duplicate events do not count.
