Stories appear on this page because our classification stage assigned them this category as their primary topic — each story receives exactly one category per niche, chosen from a fixed list, so a story that touches both a funding round and a product launch in the same week sorts into whichever category best matches its dominant subject, not both. This keeps each category page focused on one beat rather than a blend of unrelated developments, and applies the same source-verification standard used across every story on this site. Sentiment measures the directional read of each development for this category specifically, not the tone of the reporting, and impact weights how consequential a development is — regulatory, financial, or operational — rather than how widely it was syndicated across outlets.
