Research coverage and method

Scanned all four tracks using 12 searches and 12 original-source page lookups. Retained five events with dated primary evidence. Coverage is selective, especially for October 9 and database acquisitions; semiconductor and datacenter discovery produced fewer strong participant connections than funding. No fetch failures occurred. Nous Research's original fundraising page displayed only October 2026, insufficient to establish eligibility in this window. TasteVal was first submitted October 5; its October 6 revision and updated introduction were excluded as a new announcement. Arteris's original announcement was dated October 6, despite its October 8 discovery timestamp; its collaboration did not fit the available relationship vocabulary cleanly. Supplied existing events were excluded. Participants below are limited to directly supported connections; additional investors and executives mentioned in announcements were omitted to respect quotation limits. No financial amounts are recorded.

Primary source passages verified against independently fetched pages. Automated interpretations remain labeled for review; name-only merges are withheld.

3 unresolved items withheld from this edition. Current article activity uses each corpus’s fixed news basis; historical people profiles keep their training watermark. Missing measurements stay missing.
