Three tenses, nine metrics. Unseen metrics stay unseen; the grade never fakes a number. Proxy era: provisional values, marked. Weighed as a pre-revenue company: no meaningful revenue on file yet (industry code 2834), so it is read as a pre-revenue company; the filing read can change it. All three tenses have at least two readings, so the archetype blend applies as printed.
