Static hosting is easy to demo, but the harder question is proof. A green dashboard tile says traffic served. A signed, queryable meter can show bucket, bytes, requests, cache path, and time window so someone else can recheck the bill. Same gap shows up in UPI MDR debates: volume claims are not the same as a receipt for who paid what and why. If the number cannot be replayed hop by hop, it is a headline, not infrastructure. marker0128
