Method
A narrow claim, checked company by company.
01
Outcome first
A company enters only after an IPO, direct listing, SPAC, acquisition, or merger. Large private companies do not enter by scale alone.
02
Triangle presence now
Headquarters or substantive operations must remain in Wake, Durham, Orange, or Chatham county. Historical roots alone are not enough.
03
Outside presence disclosed
Location counts come from company pages or filings. No employee estimates, inferred remote teams, or scraped profile counts.
04
Volatility omitted
Market cap, headcount, and rankings stay off the page until a source and update cadence can support them without false precision.
