Covered rows carry a read. Tracked rows carry identity, funding and venues only, and say so. A valuation is the post-money as the company announced it or an outlet reported it, never a derived one.
A venue is listed when its public page named the company on the date shown. A price is the figure that page showed, under the venue’s own name for it and dated as the venue dated it; it is a level the venue publishes, not a trade. Nothing is recorded from behind a login.

Acquisition
- Quiet
- No cited tie to a buyer. What is on file is contracts, rounds and partnerships without one.
- Watch
- A cited tie to a plausible buyer: a strategic partner, an investor stake, a tender offer, a stated appetite. Nothing reported.
- Reported
- A named outlet reported talks or an approach. A report is a fact about the press, not a prediction.
- Agreed
- A deal is announced and has not closed.
- Closed
- The acquisition completed.
A posture is prepared by PiggyGPT from the cited signals on the company page. It is a reading of the public record, not a prediction and not advice.
