AI Reasoning: I found a press release on KeyCorp/Key Equipment Finance activity within 3 months: Key Equipment Finance provided equipment financing for a photovoltaic solar panels project at Rutgers University announced August 12, 2024. However August 12, 2024 is more than 12 months before November 1, 2025, so that would be not-active. But additional sources include securitizations and transactions in 2025 (Gladstone Investment 10-K mentions KEF May 13, 2025). A more specific investment: NMEF securitization Mar 19, 2025 shows ongoing activity; Key Equipment Finance participated in deals in 2025, so last known is Mar 19, 2025 which is within 8 months – between 12 and 6 months equals low-active. However further KEF press in 2025 (SEC filings) indicate activity in Sep 2025 per corporate responsibility report dated Sep 2, 2025 referencing KEF sale leaseback. That is within 2 months of Nov 1, 2025, so activity <3 months. The startup/project named: Rutgers University photovoltaic solar panels project, and Gladstone Investment financing referencing KEF May 13, 2025; NMEF securitization Mar 19, 2025. Therefore classify as very-active.[/evc_normalize]
