Recency gate (hard reject): PR Newswire press release dated 2026-09-17 (corroborating source; Finextra blocked). At screening time 2026-09-22T06:03:17Z the article is ~126 hours old, exceeding the 48-hour window. Not scored further — $24M Series A would otherwise merit medium interest, but the story is no longer timely.
