METHODOLOGY

Fresh public-market data with transparent sourcing.

Market capitalization is equity market value, not enterprise value. The Top 30 is refreshed from a public global market-cap ranking and cached as a validated DataEnvision snapshot.

Refresh policy: Automated weekday refresh; last validated snapshot is retained if the public source is unavailable or fails validation.

Timeline observations are documented public-market-cap snapshots, not interpolated estimates. Snapshot dates vary by year and are shown in the interface. The 2026 frame uses the current curated DataEnvision snapshot.

Public and private values should not be treated as identical measures: public market cap is continuously priced equity value, while private valuations are periodic financing or secondary-market reference points.
