  1. Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid

    Our reading: Rabbit Inc.'s forfeited status strongly suggests it cannot currently do business in California, where it is headquartered.

    No horizon

    Qualifier: based on forfeited status with California Secretary of State

    Our reading: Lyu and Rabbit have not been transparent, yet R1 users must hand over usernames and passwords for connected services through a remote virtual machine.

    No horizon Evidence as of

    Limitation: The transparency language is partly evaluative.
