Diligence questions

  1. The dataset records 3 tracked suppliers for Lightmatter. Which of those edges are researched (named in a filing or primary source) versus segment-inferred, and what happens if one of them stops shipping?
  2. 1 of Lightmatter's tracked suppliers are a monopoly or leader (including Broadcom). Which of those are actually single-source for the process step you care about?
  3. The dataset names 3 tracked customers for Lightmatter. How concentrated is demand among those names, and which of them have a documented second source in this graph?
  4. Lightmatter is headquartered in United States. What jurisdiction, export-control or logistics risk sits at that HQ, versus at the fabs or plants the filings actually name?
  5. Lightmatter is private in this dataset (no ticker). What primary-source filings or audited statements exist, and what is still only a one-liner?
  6. Before treating any edge as a verified relationship, check the provenance labels on the company page and the method note at /methodology.
