What the engine does
An event becomes a record.
The engine sees a round in a source, verifies it, and writes a record with every field linked to where it was published. The record on the right is live: the latest one an agent gets from the open Funding Explorer API.

Agents now read, compare and decide.
Software now reads the web on someone's behalf and wants a fact with a source attached, one it can check and cite. The market for private-markets data is already large, and agents are becoming its buyers.
