AIDB is not a directory or a marketing site. It's the source of record for the AI industry — cited like a paper, refreshed like a feed.
Freshness, at a glance.
Every profile shows when it was last verified. Green under 30 days, amber under 90, red older. No more reading a year-old valuation as if it were live.
Every claim has a source.
Citations aren't a footnote — they're a contract. Each figure on every profile is linked to the primary source it came from, with the date it was retrieved.
