How to read this ecosystem

Proximity combines mission alignment (40%), functional complement (25%), Baltimore connectivity (20%), and community accessibility (15%). Scores come from the directory; Dashboard contributions are shown separately where supplied.

Funding awards, per-company program terms, fund capitalization, portfolio aggregates and co-investment totals are distinct. An award or commitment is not proof of cash disbursement. Undisclosed amounts stay unknown. Sources and their evidence labels are preserved from the spreadsheet and have not been independently audited.

Programs such as Pava, FastForward and Hexcite retain distinct IDs and connect to their parent institutions. Generic recipients such as “portfolio companies” are shown in the relationship table, never invented as individual companies. Contact names and personal email columns are withheld; public organization websites and matching role mailboxes remain available.
