Understand the evidence labels, research limits and correction process.
Method · how to read every number
How to trust, question, and correct this research
Published 30 August 2026 · research cut-off 30 August 2026. Four questions stay separate throughout: what exists, what each record does, how solid the evidence is, and what to do next. Research, not a vendor directory or investment advice.
Six rules the whole site follows
Evidence before narrative
Every figure carries its source, its date, and who reported it.
Reporters and analysts stay separate
Company words and our conclusions never share a badge.
Place first, technology second
A tool label alone never explains who changes behavior or what it costs.
Context travels with the number
A US office case, a Dhaka developer, and a global standard are not directly comparable.
Unknown is a real answer
Not yet verified is never a zero, a low score, or a quiet guess.
No pay to rank
Money, access, or introductions never change inclusion or wording.
How solid is the source (S1 to S5)
| S1 | Filing, regulator, standard, signed evidence, or official technical document |
|---|---|
| S2 | Company site, press release, vendor case study, or program profile |
| S3 | Independent research or reporting with a clear method |
| S4 | Directory or database that still needs verification |
| S5 | Weak signal such as social posts or listicles: leads only |
Who said it (C1 to C5)
| C1 | Verified fact |
|---|---|
| C2 | Corroborated fact with a material limitation |
| C3 | Clearly attributed company/customer/partner claim |
| C4 | Atlas analyst interpretation |
| C5 | Unverified signal |
In this release all 834 claims carry provisional grades and pending claim-level review: 387 analyst interpretations, 347 company reported claims, 90 weak signals, 7 corroborated, and 3 verified. Public pages show attributed company reported claims with their limits; everything else stays visibly withheld.
What each status word means
- activeOperating, as observed at the recorded date
- cohort-selectedSelected for a cohort, not deployment evidence
- pilotPilot stage, as reported
- acquiredAcquired; lineage preserved
- acquired-activeAcquired; the product continues
- pivotedChanged model; historical identity preserved
- restructuredRestructuring documented
- inactiveNo longer operating in its prior form
- stealth/unclearUnclear from current sources
- unknownNot yet verified: which does not mean failed
Why similar names stay separate
- · Company, brand, product, and program are stored as different records.
- · Old names and buyouts stay linked: PlanGrid shows its Autodesk line, Veev shows Lennar continuation.
- · A shared web domain never proves sameness: 26 leads sit in review rather than being force merged.
- · Bought, closed, failed, product survives, and absorbed are five different states.
- · Conflicting source values stay visible as conflicts until a reviewer resolves them.
Unknown is not zero
A blank can mean not provided, unknown, unreviewed, not applicable, or withheld. This site writes those states out: not yet verified, not provided, under review. Never a zero, never a middle score. 22 records carry unresolved tier conflicts and show exactly that.
How records stay fresh
Monthly
broken/high-priority sources, funding/acquisition/shutdown events, the correction queue
Quarterly
Tier A/B status, product and case refresh; new YC and fund cohorts; Bangladesh market changes
Annually
full taxonomy, scoring weights, standards versions, security/privacy/legal review, archived-record audit
High-volatility fields: funding, valuation, customer count, employee count, status, product ownership: expire faster than a stable standard definition. Retrieval dates are shown beside sources; a retrieval date is not a publication date.
What lives here and what stays private
What you are reading
This site
Reviewed global analysis, labeled company records, dated cases, standards, and method. What you are reading.
Not on this site
Private meeting material
Company specific observations, pilot designs, owners, and vendor strategy. Permissioned, and absent here by design.
Never published
Working notes
Raw notes, unresolved conflicts, contacts, and unpublished sources.
Moving anything from private to public needs a named reviewer and a written reason. On any conflict, the more restrictive state wins.
Report a factual issue
Every profile and case shows its stable ID in monospace. A correction should name that ID, the sentence in question, and the supporting evidence. Material corrections become new review events with the earlier statement preserved and marked replaced, never quietly overwritten.
The source register
