Each company comes with the evidence, a date where there is one, and the data systems it runs or last ran. Company level only.
A signal is not proof that a company has closed. Every row shows the evidence behind it, so you can judge each company yourself.
The company's own website says it is closing, has wound down or is no longer in business. A closing date is included when the site gives one.
The website says the company was acquired, merged or joined another company. Its records may now sit with a new owner.
The domain registration has lapsed: grace period, redemption, pending delete or on hold. The domain is close to being released.
The website no longer loads, but company email on the domain is still set up. Someone still holds the domain.
When a company winds down, the records in its systems are often archived or deleted. We identify which systems each company runs, or last ran, and show them as tags.
A few rows from each signal. Company names, dates and evidence are in the file.

Our research shows AI labs pay most for the records of real work, held in the systems below. We identify which of these systems each company on the Radar runs or last ran.
Every company comes with the systems we identified, shown as tags. Company level only: we show which systems a company runs, never what is inside them.

The same rules as all our lists.
A list of US companies from our index that show signals of winding down: an announced closing, an announced acquisition, a domain in its expiry window, or a website that is gone while company email still works. Each row comes with the evidence, a date where there is one, and the data systems the company runs or last ran.
No. A signal is not proof that a company has closed. Every row shows the evidence behind it, so you can judge each company yourself.
We identify which systems each company runs, such as work ticketing and wiki tools, CRM, support desks, contract tools, design tools, finance systems and work email. Our research shows AI labs pay most for the records held in these systems. For a website that is gone, we show the systems it last ran.
No. The Radar is company level only: domain, sector, signal, evidence, category, country, years online and data systems. No names, emails or phone numbers.
No. We never contact the companies on the Radar.
