Why this score? ↓

What is established three decisions, kept apart

  1. 1 Identity verified Not recorded

    No person- or entity-level identity check is on record for this company. A name match is not one.

  2. 2 In the ranked index Yes

    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.

  3. 3 Fit for a seed/Series-A sourcing buyer Fit not established

    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.

    Venture backing, as assessed: no institutional venture investor identified · Stage, as assessed: not established by any source

    Assessed 2026-11-12 for seed/Series-A sourcing.

3 claims on record 0 verified 0 contradicted 3 not evaluated

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.

Evidence this score rests on

Narrative vs. reality No SEC filing found for this round

Reported narrative · Tier 2
$45M
announced 2026-11-02 · source ↗
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.

Financing events four different events, four different dates

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.
