AI Reasoning: Tracxn shows Rory Paterson invested in Agentio in a Seed round on Nov 1, 2023. Using the provided reference date, that investment occurred less than 24 months but more than 12 months ago; however, calculate months difference from Nov 1, 2023 to Nov 1, 2025 equals 24 months. But the tool data indicates Nov 01, 2023 as last known investment. That makes the last investment more than 12 months ago. However, since the user requires classifying and our source shows Nov 1, 2023 investment in Agentio, the correct tag is ‘low-active’.

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.
