How the test worked
The construction of the 2,000-answer dataset across closed-book, shared-retrieval and specificity experiments.

The remembered funding map
The leading firm in each of the 10 funding-discovery categories, measured without search.

The operating canon
How frequently the five most-mentioned firms appeared across 10 founder operating problems.

Eight models, one retrieval layer
Each model’s remembered first choice beside its first choice after receiving the same live search results.

How completely search rewrote the answer
Matched-cell agreement between closed-book and retrieval-enabled answers for funding and operating prompts.

What specificity does to the shortlist
How leading firms change as legitimate founder detail is added across three categories.

Retrieval still requires diligence
The verification outcome for the 50 most-retrieved firm recommendations.

Ideas can survive while credit leaks
Correct person and firm attribution when five named startup frameworks appeared.

The three-market synthesis
The editorial framework: be remembered, be retrieved and shape the reference frame.
