How this is counted

A model reads every release, feature, price, availability and policy claim, and every investment, acquisition, partnership, customer, agreement and expansion, with its post, and tags it: whether it is about AI, up to three themes from a fixed list (22), the release's kind and the model's tier, and the deal's kind, amount and currency as stated, counterparty and country. AI or tech is judged by the announcement, not the company: a phone is tech, a model or an AI feature is AI. Only checked claims are counted (the record publishes no other), dated from January 2023 on.

Counts follow what the record reads, and its sources start on different days: a quarter before a company's feed begins holds little of that company. Shares within a quarter compare better than counts across quarters. 1,426 more await their check.
