Evidence this score rests on

Narrative vs. reality No SEC filing found for this round

Reported narrative · Tier 2
$20M unknown

Filed reality · Tier 0 · SEC
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.

Community chatter Hacker News · Tier 3 · unverified manip. risk low · 0.11

Gray-market attention, not quality. 28+ HN mentions (peak 207 points). Claim-shaped headlines are rumors until corroborated — a Tier-3 factual claim carries no evidentiary weight on its own. ▲ 207 CHART: Completely Hackable Amateur Radio Telescope 2023-09-11 ↗
