- 1.0.0
Ponicorn: small internet businesses that make money, with the source behind every figure. Call list_taxonomy before filtering so you use a slug that exists. Every figure carries `measured_at`, a `freshness` of current, aging or stale, `evidence_status`, a `label` of verified or unverified, and the `source` it was read from — quote the label, note when a figure is `stale`, and never present an estimate as a confirmed fact. `submit_startup` needs an API key and files a submission for a person to read; nothing here can publish, edit or delete.
