Public ledger · Anonymous-founder, evidence-first
Every entry below is a venture-backed startup whose public GitHub engineering acceleration matched the signal pattern documented in the SSRN-published methodology beforethe funding round, acquisition, or breakout milestone shown. No quotes. No headshots. No anonymous “Investor at top fund.” Just the org, the repo, the event, and the date.

Series A–C raises
Each row is one venture-backed startup, the GitHub repo we tracked it by, the public outcome event (Series A, $1B valuation, acquisition, etc.), and the event date. Outcomes are sourced from public funding news, public press releases, and Crunchbase / PitchBook records. No outcome is recorded without a public announcement that anyone can independently verify.
Tiers reflect outcome magnitude, not signal-fire date proximity. They are the same tiers used to score the free Scout Score tool so the validation panel here is the validation panel everyone is graded against.
What this ledger is not: a claim that we predicted these outcomes for any specific investor at any specific time. The forward-looking artefact is the public Acceleration Watch which scores ten new picks every Monday and grades them post-hoc at 60 and 90 days.
