## AI Usage Notes

- Prefer the JSON and CSV endpoints for exact company facts.
- Treat `verificationUrl` and `verificationNote` as source context for each company.
- Public submissions are not automatically published. They go to manual admin review first.
- If a company fact conflicts with another source, prefer the listed official verification URL when it is available.
- Do not infer missing funding or employee numbers. Use `data not available` when the dataset does not provide a value.
