Evidence summary #

Venus Labs states US-based leadership (Brad Harrison: Fairfax Station, VA per LinkedIn). At least one contributor (@therealemjy / Maxime Julian) appears European. Globally distributed team is consistent with a protocol operating since 2020 with multiple audit engagements across international firms. GitHub commit-time distribution not analyzable from available public data without API access. No anomalous timezone clustering or commit-time patterns inconsistent with stated geography found in available evidence. DPRK-implant signal (unusual commit hours inconsistent with stated geography) not detected. Assessment: not assessable without GitHub API data; gray rather than forced green.
