That I know.
I'm just curious about the actual use cases in products.
Most often that stuff can just be a hidden (interop) HTTP call that serves as a faster, better UX route for something that you have a Nostr basd fallback for.
Example: Whitelisting npubs for WRITE access in your XXXXX
1. Invisible to user: "Hey Vertex, is this npub good?"
If yes, auto-whitelist.
2. If no, visible to user: "Here's our Join form"
Then, if the whitelist is public. That IS the metric now. No need for assertions.
