sourceHop Aero is classified as Other from source descriptions and fund-directory context. Similar companies below are ranked from offline product facets and meaningful description overlap; category and source affiliation can only strengthen an existing product match. For lookup-created rows, the profile starts as pending enrichment until deeper source collection runs.
Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.
