- Context grounding, 9 against 6. The Security Context Graph stores memories with source, confidence and freshness, and Mate says it learns from tickets and documents in hours.
- Published evidence, 4 against 3. The 98.7 percent, 97 percent and 6.1x figures carry no method (grade C); the Blue City method is published but does not test Mate.
- Momentum and recognition, 9 against 7. Seed in 2025-11, Series A on 2026-07-28, Gamebooks on 2026-08-26 and a Gartner emerging-vendor logo in 2026-07.
