machine:Machine checks passed: 3/3. Review pending with human or llm.

auto-review:Bavest is a real fintech data API vendor with a genuine startup discount program on their first-party stock-api page: up to 70% off year one and up to 50% off year two, contact-form access, no numerical eligibility thresholds (correctly encoded as not-machine-evaluable). The entity YAML lands at entities/ba/bavest.yaml, shard matches slug, one offer only, no code or unrelated files. Both source URLs (stock-api page and contact page) fetch cleanly and confirm every economic field in the YAML without invented facts. CI 3/3 passed, PR live at HTTP 200, claimant stars the repo. The paid_publication_code_host warnings are noise for a github_contribution_v1 profile where the PR is the deliverable. No dealbreakers, no fabricated data, no generic tier.

machine:Verifier was inconclusive.

auto-review:Veridue (veridue.ai) is a real AI-native M&A due diligence platform for renewable energy and data centers, announcing a $4M pre-seed and public launch. PR #35 was opened by @aiirvizionz on the correct repo, changes only files under startups/, and machine checks confirm claimant authorship, repo star, admitted domain, and live URL. The logo check is inconclusive: pixels differ from the favicon (ruling out a naive upscale), consistent with a rendered SVG or press kit PNG as the bounty allows, but human gate should confirm pixel dimensions are 256–1,600px and square or near-square before accepting. The review gate (stompstart.com/api/startups/veridue live with correct contributor_attribution) is deferred to human acceptance per the advisory-context scope. No dealbreakers. Passes the bounty floor of 3/5.
