Ranked on federal contract value rather than capital raised. The equity column is the comparison worth making — companies at the same procurement position often sit at very different points in their funding history.

Regulatory activity · Biotech

Sector-level, not company-level

Rules are matched to sector, not to company. Recent activity in a sector is context rather than a signal about this business — until rules are matched to what a company actually builds, the section is shown as context and nothing more.
