|---|---|---|
| 2016-10-07 | Illinois DCEO's reference lists this as the start of Brilliant Pet 2, LLC's QNBV certification eligibility, ending December 31, 2016. These are not formation or dissolution dates. | BPAD-DCEO |
| 2018-12-20 | Devlin Design describes its work creating the machine with Alan Cook and says Lori Greiner invested $500,000. This is a collaborator's published account, not an executed investment instrument. | BPAD-DEVLIN |

Notable findings and disputes
- strong corroboration A directly retrieved supplies catalog and the BrilliantPad SMART app listing support an operating commercial presence. The current catalog lists replacement rolls, training spray and a grate. No purchase, fulfillment or device functionality was tested. [ BPAD-STORE, BPAD-APPLE ]
- unresolved Product-development collaborator Devlin Design says Greiner invested $500,000. The research draft cites a contrary Shark Tank Blog account, but that page could not be independently retrieved during review. Closing remains unresolved rather than treating either an affiliated account or an inaccessible contrary report as decisive. [ BPAD-DEVLIN, BPAD-BLOG ]
- verified fact Apple names Brilliant Pet 2 LLC as app developer, while Illinois DCEO's historical QNBV reference names Brilliant Pet 2, LLC with program number 94F. This supports an entity association, not current Secretary of State standing. The program number is not a state corporation file number. [ BPAD-APPLE, BPAD-DCEO ]
- verified fact The developer markets health-alert and PoopAI features in the app description. These are product claims, not independently verified veterinary effectiveness or medical advice. [ BPAD-APPLE ]
What we could not verify
- Investment closing, exact on-air royalty/credit mechanics and final cap table remain unresolved.
- Formation jurisdiction, state file number and current standing require an entity-specific registry result.
- The company's FAQ reference to episode 914 has not been reconciled with S9E9; do not assume a production code or a second appearance.
- Patent and trademark leads in the raw draft still require independent review; they are not silently treated as verified current rights.
- No dated same-page archive comparison establishes historical edits; litigation, acquisitions and partner-dispute research remain incomplete.
