Funding events

Financing records can exist before investors are identified. Source reports retain their date basis, amount scope, and review status.

    Organizations and connections

    Affiliations retain their dates and sources. Roles may be historical; a missing end date does not establish a current role. Machine classifications need review; a co-mention alone does not establish a relationship.
