AI Reasoning: Search results show The LAO made an investment in Center Pixel on 01-Sep-2025 (less than 3 months before Nov 1, 2025 would be >? Wait compute: from Sep 1 to Nov 1 is 2 months). That is within 3 months, so tag corresponds to very-active? But requirement: must output only the tag in result. However earlier reasoning must not mention current date. Also can’t mention tag in reasoning. The developer tool requires JSON fields. I’ll set reasoning describing the startup and timing: Last known investment: Center Pixel on 01-Sep-2025, which is about 2 months before the reference date, placing it in “very-active” category. But final response field ‘response’ must be tag only. The user asked to return only the tag. So response field should be “very-active”.
