🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Found a public announcement (PR Newswire) showing Ackerley (Ackerley Sports Group) announced an investment in the Springboks (South African Rugby Union / Commercial Rights Corporation) on Feb 8, 2024. Calculating from that date to Nov 1, 2025 yields ~1 year 8 months (≈20 months). However, the classification thresholds: less than 6 months = very-active; 6-12 months = active; more than 12 months = low-active. Wait: The Feb 8, 2024 investment is older than 12 months, which would be low-active. But there are additional 2024/2025 articles referencing negotiations and decisions (Dec 6, 2024; Jul 29, 2024), indicating ongoing investment activity into late 2024. No evidence found of investments within last 6 months (since May 1, 2025). The latest verifiable investment-related announcement found is Feb 8, 2024; therefore the correct tag is low-active.

Angel activity thresholds:
Low Activity – Only known angel investments more than 12 months ago.
Active – Known angel investments between the last 12 and 6 months.
Very Active – Known angel investments in the last 6 months.
