Operational Proof

Built around the evidence agencies actually need

Mercury is designed to shorten the distance between a suspicious storefront and an enforcement-ready file. The workflow prioritizes preservation, regulatory context, and speed.

Evidence Package

Screenshots, timestamps, and citations stay in one case file

Mercury packages the storefront evidence with the regulatory context so teams do not have to rebuild the record after the crawl finishes.

Payment Visibility

Processor exposure is reviewed beside the storefront violations

Mercury surfaces detected payment-acceptance signals beside storefront findings. Processor-policy exposure is framed for analyst review and does not, by itself, establish the merchant's acquiring relationship or a legal violation.

Rapid Response

One domain becomes an audit trail before the storefront changes again

Mercury is designed for fast-moving targets where pages, product claims, and disclosures can rotate long before a manual review cycle catches up.

Platform Capabilities

Full-spectrum enforcement intelligence

From automated crawling to court-ready reports, Mercury covers the compliance lifecycle without forcing teams to repackage findings by hand.

Violation Detection & Scoring
Review each store across 17 finding categories, including age verification, licensing, shipping, potency, health claims, youth appeal, payment-policy exposure, and emerging grey-zone products.
Payment Processor Intelligence
Detect payment-acceptance signals and potential processor-policy exposure, including Stripe and Square where cannabis restrictions or approval requirements may apply.
Automated Store Audits
Classify and crawl stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, BLAZE/Tymber, Dutchie, and Weedmaps, analyzing 500+ unique product listings depending on the audit scope and storefront size.
License Verification
Cross-reference against live license databases in CA, NY, CO, WA, OR, IL, MA, MI, NV, and NJ. Expired, revoked, or missing disclosures are flagged and included in the evidence package.
Enforcement Reporting
Three report formats — AG Enforcement, Compliance Scorecard, and Payment Processor Referral — each with statute citations, evidence screenshots, and one-click PDF export.
Mercury Analyst
Ask questions across storefront evidence, violations, licenses, and market trends.

Domain to structured enforcement report

A focused view of the workflow Mercury automates every time a storefront is reviewed. Processing time varies by storefront size, platform, checkout accessibility, and evidence-capture requirements.

Evidence is evaluated across 17 categories with source URLs, screenshots, and relevant regulatory context prepared for analyst validation.
04
Review & Export
Apply human review, then choose Enforcement, Compliance Scorecard, or Processor Review output for PDF, CSV, or downstream workflows.
State Coverage

Coverage organized by market structure

Mercury profiles adult-use, medical-only, and special-jurisdiction markets separately so coverage does not imply that every state operates under the same retail framework.

Market labels describe regulatory structure and Mercury coverage, not a ranking of violation volume.
