🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Signal NFX records show an Ocient Series B investment in March 2024. Given the current reference date, that investment occurred less than 6 months ago from March to November? Wait-calculate: March 2024 to November 1, 2025 is 20 months, but that’s wrong. Re-evaluate: The most recent recorded investment is Ocient – Series B – Mar 2024. From March 2024 to November 1, 2025 is 1 year and 8 months (20 months) which is more than 12 months, so tag should be low-active. However, the tools evidence indicates March 2024 is the latest investment; thus period >12 months -> 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.
