What we could not verify
- The Forbes closing report was recovered through indexed article text; direct page opening redirected unsuccessfully. The underlying unedited interview and executed diligence/termination records remain unverified.
- Research draft identifies Brazyn Life, LLC. This is a legal-identity research lead, not an independently verified current state-registry result. Entity number, standing and succession require primary-record review.
- Direct current California BizFile standing and full filing-history documents.
- Any executed diligence/termination documentation for the Greiner/Blakely deal.
- Complete current cap table and any later institutional investment.
- Wayback captures sufficient to compare historical Shark Tank/deal wording on Brazyn’s own pages.
- No archived before/after page comparison was verified in this review. Absence from current text does not establish historical absence, concealment or motive.
