An evidence gap, not proof of falsity: Form D is not always required (foreign offerings, certain exemptions) or may not be filed yet.

Regulatory filings SEC EDGAR · primary source

Form D filings — the company's own authoritative record of a Reg D private raise, filed with the SEC. Primary-source evidence: not commentary, not inference. 4 filings, latest 2026-02-26.

Community chatter Hacker News · Tier 3 · unverified manip. risk low · 0.13

Gray-market attention, not quality. 50+ HN mentions (peak 1015 points). Claim-shaped headlines are rumors until corroborated — a Tier-3 factual claim carries no evidentiary weight on its own. Risk drivers: heavy gray-market attention · some SEC filings on record. ▲ 1015 Immersive Linear Algebra – textbook with fully interactive figures (2015) 2017-03-19 ↗
