Figures

Claim	Now	Source
Investor profiles	10,000+	The stated dataset figure, audited October 2026; rounded down, never up. The live count is printed instead once the dataset setting is switched to live.
People across the whole database	60,000+	The master dataset (v8) counted by our data engineer, October 2026; rounded down, never up. The live People row below replaces it once that dataset is loaded.
Investor organisations	3,516	Counted now: real, non-demo, non-canary organisations.
People	5,137	Counted now: people at those organisations who have not asked to be kept out of results.
Deliverable work emails	Not loaded yet	Counted now: people whose work email passed its last deliverability check. Deliverable is not the same as verified.
Generalist investors	1,937	Counted now: organisations whose sectors include generalist.
Funding rounds tracked	72	Counted now: published rounds that are not demo data.
Startups listed	151	Counted now: published startup profiles.
Free dossiers	3	A product rule (src/lib/entitlements.ts): 3 fully reasoned dossiers free, 6 after one share unlock per company.
Report size	25	A product rule: the one-off report holds this many fully reasoned targets.
Matching model	2.1.2	The version stamped on every list the engine builds (src/lib/versions.ts).

Product and security claims

These are the claims made on the security, retention, AI, status and pricing pages. Each value is read from the code when this page loads.

Claim	Now	Where it is enforced
The Fit Score is a weighted average of published factors	16 factors	The factor list and default weights are in src/lib/factors.ts. The methodology page prints the weights in use.
Scoring is computed by rules, not by a language model	No model call	The scoring files (src/lib/match.ts, factors.ts, signals.ts) import no model client. A unit test fails if one is added.
A model output can never make a fact Verified	Inferred or Estimated	The only states a tier F fact may carry (src/lib/states.ts). The database rejects any other (db/047_evidence.sql).
Plan match limits	Spark 1,000, Launch 2,500	The largest matched list each plan builds (src/lib/tiers.ts). Stated as “up to”.
A first email is sent only after the founder approves it	Approval required	Only a queue entry marked approved is ever sent, and a draft becomes approved only by the founder's own action (src/lib/autopilot.ts, src/app/autopilot/page.tsx).
Follow-ups after a first email	Up to 2	Queued in fixed wording after a first email is sent, only while the founder has follow-ups switched on, and dropped if the investor replied (src/lib/autopilot.ts).
A free next list if no investor replies	20 contacted, 30 days	The terms the claim route checks: at least 20 investors marked contacted, no reply logged, claimed between 30 and 60 days after delivery (src/app/api/guarantee/route.ts).
Our target for finishing a removal request	24 hours	A target we set ourselves, not a measurement (src/lib/targets.ts). The share met is printed only once enough requests have closed.
How often each record is re-checked	180, 90, 30 and 30 days	Organisations, contacts, funding rounds and news, in that order (src/lib/freshness.ts).
Contact fields are encrypted before they are stored	AES-256-GCM	Work email addresses and phone numbers, one field at a time (src/lib/vault.ts).
Sign-in link and session lifetimes	15 minutes, 30 days	Set in src/app/api/auth/request/route.ts and src/lib/auth.ts. A unit test checks these figures against those files.
Staff must pass a second sign-in step	Every 12 hours	Staff access is not granted to a session without it (gate() in src/lib/auth.ts).
Retention periods on the retention page	2, 100 and 365 days	Rate-limit counters, status readings and closed support messages. A unit test checks each period against the file that enforces it.
Sub-processors	5 connected	Read from the live configuration when the page loads (subprocessors() in src/lib/trust.ts).
Status history and percentages	90 days	Drawn only from stored readings. A percentage needs at least 10 readings (src/lib/uptime.ts).
Security certifications held	None	The list in src/content/site.ts. The Certifications block stays hidden while it is empty.
