No person- or entity-level identity check is on record for this company. A name match is not one.
The ranked index lists private AI companies with two or more independent sourced evidence families; its Early-stage view also leaves out rounds of $100M or more that no source assigns a stage. This profile is listed in the ranked index. It is a statement about evidence and mandate, and about nothing else.
We have not established fit. That is not a soft no and not a soft yes — it is unknown, and it is never counted as a qualified prospect.
UNKNOWN (not a soft no, never counted as qualified). Blocker: No source states a band-bearing stage for any financing event we hold.
Assessed 2026-11-12 for seed/Series-A sourcing.
Subdomains appearing in public certificate-transparency logs — infrastructure standing up, dated at detection. Intent labels are deterministic (token map), not guessed.
↗ Strongest signal: developer (20% of the score).
↓ Scored on 1 of 4 components — funding_recency, funding_magnitude, adoption had no computable metric; confidence 0.48.
The skeptic's read what this company has said, judged against what happened
Not evaluated ≠ false — the deadline or the evidence hasn't arrived. A forecast with no target date cannot be graded and is counted as insufficient temporal evidence. Nothing here is editorial: every count is a ledger row you can open on the Proof page.
No single number decides. Layers can disagree — that's the point. New to this? →
The platform's own early signals for this company — hard-to-fake, and where one preceded a real raise, the measured lead.

That is a gap in OUR funding data and not evidence that the raise went unreported — trade press reads EDGAR too, and two of the three companies in our first Form D batch were published by a funding newsletter on the day they filed, from the same documents. What the filing establishes is listed below; the stage of the round, and whether it is news, are not established by it.
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. 1 filing, latest filed 2026-10-28. A Form D is filed after the sale, so the filing date is when the notice reached the SEC — not when the round closed. Where the issuer stated a first-sale date it is shown beside it, and a D/A amends an earlier offering rather than reporting a new one.
A first sale, a filing, an amendment and a public announcement are not the same event, and one date may not stand in for another. Where the latest financing date cannot be established from what we hold, this says unknown rather than substituting a date we do have.
The issuer's own first-sale date on its D is 2026-10-20: the FIRST dollar of this offering. The filing does not date the last one, so money moved on or after 2026-10-20 and the reported total had been reached by 2026-10-28.
Gray-market attention, not quality. 1+ HN mentions (peak 1 points). Claim-shaped headlines are rumors until corroborated — a Tier-3 factual claim carries no evidentiary weight on its own. Risk drivers: some SEC filings on record. ▲ 1 Presentations from Computer Vision Meetup – Carnegie Mellon Robotics and Cvat.ai 2022-12-12 ↗
