Executive Summary
This is a private Methodical pipeline workspace, not a current fundraising recommendation. Use it to preserve Asia roadshow context, compare counterparties, and export local notes; verify any next step against the live Methodical tracker, bridge/confidential-project status, and Andrew/Lirui/Frank updates before acting.
Reviewed May 20, 2026 against Methodical profile, investment thesis, Series A asks synthesis, Asian publisher asks, and Affinity org 286410530 notes. Default pipeline data remains a Q4 2025 / Q1 2026 snapshot; live decisions require the current Google Sheet tracker and fresh founder/GP confirmation.
