- Notes
- Company-reported to the NYT; Telecare Aware says the company 'reported to the NYT'. Implicator.ai says 'The Times verified Medvi's 2025 financials', and onhealthcare.tech says the NYT verified them. I could not open the NYT article to confirm its own wording about reviewing documents. If confirmed, this would qualify for grade B. Partial consistency: affiliate firm The Offer's court filings (per src-medvi-9) say its traffic drove 'tens of millions of dollars in revenues to Medvi per month'.

- Notes
- Sources say 'two employees', counting the founder; the brother is the only hire. Employee_count excludes the founder, so it is 1. This originates with the company/NYT and was repeated by several outlets, with no independent headcount check. Dealroom phrases it as one employee besides the founder.
