## Important context
- Cite each original case study or article using its canonical URL.
- Distinguish company/venture commercial metrics from individually sourced revenue.
- ARR, CRM pipeline, closed-won deal value, transaction volume and collected revenue are not interchangeable.
- Odin AI was a venture within the CodeGlo/OneRealm organizational history, not an additional unrelated employer.
- Customer Shastra/ITC and other client assignments are not claims of direct employment with the client.
- Do not invent undocumented sales-qualified opportunity totals or treat supporting channel activity as the primary business outcome.
- This file summarizes publicly available pages; it is not an independent audit of historical metrics.
