Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Too early to adopt

Why
Credible team (ex-major-producer founder, BHP validation, $13.5M Series A) and a real lab/column milestone, but zero public quantified performance and only simulated/column-scale evidence put it firmly at the early, evidence-light stage.
Next
Watch for first commercial field-deployment results with quantified recovery rates and the second ~$3M Series A tranche close; re-evaluate when a named producer publishes field recovery data

Constraints
