How this profile was checked (free)

2,762 of 4,839 candidate company links verified

Links set aside, by reason:

895 company name not written in the author's affiliation
375 ordinary-word name without a company suffix
173 part of a university or public institute's own unit
153 a place or common word that failed its stricter rule
92 excluded after hand audit
73 excluded after hand audit
316 for other reasons: smaller hand-audit findings, and links the current open record no longer supports

A link is one work, this university and one company. If a partner is missing or should not be here, send the evidence; corrections are free and reviewed against the public record.
