Field notes
Pastlight separates a current company claim from dated observations, interpretation, and an analyst decision. Its example follows Asteron Systems from “field operations software” in 2018 to enterprise positioning in 2023, then turns that shift into a question for management. Findings display exact quotations, source dates, confidence, and an evidence locator such as E-04.3; the page says analysts, rather than a chatbot, approve what enters an export.
