> Authored English summary | Turkish report is the source of truth | v3 pipeline | 6,911 reportable items

## Executive Summary

Today's strongest signal is the convergence of agentic coding economics, frontier safety negotiations, and inference cost control. Factory's reported $200M round at a $5B valuation shows that coding agents are now priced as a major software category.
