x-identity-unresolved:
  date: '2026-07-19'
  reason: The a16z investment list carries "Automaton" as a bare name with no URL, sector, or description, and no company
    of that name could be resolved to a public web or developer surface with confidence.
  checked:
  - https://a16z.com/investment-list/
  - https://automaton.ai/ (200 - parked domain listed for sale on Spaceship.com)

  candidates_rejected:
  - name: Automaton, Inc. (dba RADAR)
    url: https://goradar.com/
    rejected_because: Retail RFID company backed by Y Combinator, Founders Fund, Align Ventures, Gideon Strategic Partners
      and Nimble Partners; no source confirms a16z as an investor, so the identity match is unverified.
  next_step: Re-queue if a source ever links the a16z list entry to a specific company domain. No artifacts were fabricated.
