Verified regulatory filings, round size, the gap between rounds and the quality of the lead syndicate.
Code and patents
Repository velocity, release cadence and granted EPO or USPTO families held by the company.
Talent inflow
Headcount growth, seniority mix and net migration of engineers from established laboratories.
Press citations
Tier 4 and tier 5 publication citations, weighted by the editorial independence of the outlet.
Product cadence
Shipped releases, depth of the public changelog and follow through on the declared roadmap.
Community verdict
Reader and expert moat ratings on the one to six scale, weighted by the history of the reviewer.
