    "The 1,012-record index is a curated convenience sample, not a representative sample of all startups.",
    "Financial metric families are reproducible regular-expression matches, may overlap, and are not audited accounting classifications.",
    "Structured source counts measure attached entries, not source independence, truth, corroboration, or claim quality.",
    "Fetch-date age measures collection recency, not the date of the claim, publication, event, or independent verification.",
    "Opportunity windows and evidence classes are editorial labels and do not predict commercial outcomes.",
    "Difficulty correlations use ordinal editorial scores with average ranks for ties; association is not causation.",
    "All downloadable files contain aggregate results only; no restricted row-level project export is published."
