Sources

first-party marks research published by dilynx itself — the FinanceCopilotHQ corpus, this platform's predecessor publication. Everything unmarked is independent third-party evidence. A capability claim always requires at least one independent source, and high confidence requires two or more independent publishers agreeing: first-party research can corroborate a claim, never carry one on its own.
