What belongs on the map
Organizations are selected for meaningful model, product, infrastructure, research, or market influence—not simply because they announced a large funding round. Profiles can include products and projects as well as organizations. The map and directory filter by primary category; profile tags describe work across additional areas.
How lifecycle works
Research covers early technical work and prototypes. Preview marks constrained access or evaluation. Growth reflects public availability and scaling. Deployment is reserved for products operating in sustained production or at meaningful market scale.
How changes are ordered
Market developments are ordered by event date, with the legacy publication date used when occurrence is unknown. Original source dates and site-added dates are labeled separately when established. The separate site publishing log is ordered by site publication date.
How financial data is handled
Funding, debt, valuation, acquisition values, and reported revenue remain distinct. Every structured financial record must include a dated source. Private-company ARR and run-rate figures are labeled as reported disclosures, not audited revenue.
Sources and corrections
Profiles prioritize official company material, regulatory or investor-relations disclosures, technical documentation, and high-quality reporting. Every profile shows its verification status and source links, and corrections enter a private editorial review queue before publication.
Who maintains it
The map is built and maintained by Corey Noles as a living editorial product. The Staticbreaker carries the same work into a concise briefing about the launches, category shifts, and market signals worth paying attention to.
