Source: Derived from grants

Computed from this company's grant titles & abstracts by keyword scoring against a 15-sector taxonomy — not an externally assigned label.

Source: Derived from sectors

Inferred from companies that share technology sectors — an automated signal, not a curated list.

Source: Derived model

A temporally-validated model over grant/signal/enrichment features — a probability estimate, not a fact.

Source: Local LLM (Qwen)

Synthesized from public web sources by a local LLM, then quote-verified against the source — a computed signal, not an external fact. Primary-source facts (gov/edu/SEC) are support-checked; secondary sources are adversarially refuted.

Source: Local LLM (Qwen)

A "10-minute briefing" synthesized by a local LLM from this company's own signal graph (grants, funding, patents, publications, contracts, trials, technologies, competitors, market signals and verified research facts). A computed summary grounded strictly in that data — not an external fact; funding and competitor lists are taken directly from the underlying records.

Source: Derived — your workflow

A heuristic score ranking companies by recency-weighted intent signals (recent SBIR, funding, hiring, patents, market signals) against the criteria you define in your workflow — a prioritization estimate, not a fact. Personalizes over time from your feedback.

Source: Company website

Summary, products, investors, funding and key people taken from the company's own website. Self-reported — useful for recency, but may be marketing; validated filings (e.g. SEC Form D) take precedence on conflict.
