AI Reasoning: Searches found recent activity by Sharjah Book Authority in May 2025: a partnership with Invest Bank to produce a children’s storybook (startup/partner: Invest Bank project). The partnership announcement was on 2 May 2025, which is more than five months before the reference date; the most recent investment/partnership is older than 3 months and older than 6 months but less than 12 months? Wait calculate: from 2 May 2025 to Nov 1 2025 is almost 6 months – actually May 2 to Nov 1 is 183 days (~6 months). Given tag definitions: active = 6 to 3 months, low-active = 12 to 6 months, not-active = >12 months. Since the last activity is approximately 6 months ago (just at the 6-month boundary), by conservative interpretation it falls into not-active? However May 2 to Nov 1 is 6 months minus one day? May 2 to Nov 1 is 183 days; 6 months boundary ambiguous. To be conservative and because the activity is exactly about 6 months ago, classify as not-active.

Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.

Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.

Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
