Notable findings and disputes

  1. strong corroboration Bot-It is operating as of 2026-09-09; its $300,000 on-air deal with Mark Cuban and Michael Rubin is not verified as closed. [ BOT5, BOT6, BOT7 ]
  2. verified fact Sony’s official clip and ABC’s roster independently fix the pitch at Season 15, Episode 3. [ BOT1, BOT2 ]
  3. credible report The public record supports an accepted on-air offer, but not a completed investment; later founder wording and absence from Cuban’s portfolio are consistent with a deal that did not close, but no primary termination document was found. [ BOT4, BOT8, BOT9 ]
  4. verified fact The current site is materially broader than ABC’s 2023 consumer-bot description, now marketing business, medical, accounting and workflow automation. This is a documented evolution in positioning, not evidence that any particular historical page was secretly edited. [ BOT1, BOT6, BOT7 ]
