The sourcing problem in artificial intelligence coverage
Capability and valuation claims in AI are frequently reported without attribution. An outline of the stricter standard the directory applies to profiles in this sector.

Artificial intelligence is the sector in which the gap between what is reported and what is documented is widest. Valuations circulate before rounds close, capability claims are repeated across outlets without a named origin, and company statements are frequently paraphrased into secondary coverage that then becomes the only retrievable source.
For profiles classified under artificial intelligence, the directory requires that a transaction value be traceable to either the investing entity, the receiving company, or a regulatory filing. Figures appearing only in secondary coverage are recorded with the status verified and are visibly marked as such on the profile.
This produces profiles that look sparser than the surrounding press coverage would suggest. That is the intended outcome.
