Composite signal v0 31 ±16 · 3 components

Five evidence lanes (activity, capital, infra, hiring, ecosystem) as within-cohort percentiles, combined with evidence-breadth weights over the 60-company baseline cohort. The ± band widens with missing lanes — it measures what the score stands on. 16 signals in the last 60 days back this number.

Engineering openings 91 → 95 over 14d

Counted from the company's own job board — each point a dated observation.

No SEC Form D on record.

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

Shipped capability HuggingFace · public

This company publishes models on HuggingFace — observable proof of capability, ahead of any product announcement. Adoption is measured in real downloads.

Federal contracts USAspending · public record

Realized federal award records for this company — a verifiable, dollar-denominated government signal. Recipient name matched with high confidence; figures are per-award totals from USAspending.gov.

Community chatter Hacker News · Tier 3 · unverified manip. risk high · 0.84

Gray-market attention, not quality. 50+ HN mentions (peak 691 points). Claim-shaped headlines are rumors until corroborated — a Tier-3 factual claim carries no evidentiary weight on its own. Risk drivers: 4 recent unverified rumors circulating · heavy gray-market attention · no primary-source corroboration. ▲ 691 Qwen 3.8 27B available on Cerebras at 1500 tokens/s 2026-09-03 ↗
