Description

Company disclosure · 17 Sep 2026

Own site. valuation is bare: the reported $1.8B is press reporting and the company’s own release states no valuation, so there is nothing here to cite for it. Delivery test (§1.1): the product reports on what AI assistants say about a brand — the customer buys an analysis of model output they cannot see themselves.
