Read all 3 source snapshots from sources/2026-05/corgi-raises-160-million-series-b-at-13-billion-valuation-four-months-after-series-a-plans-trucking-insurance-expansion/. source-0 TechCrunch (3.4k chars 'In Brief'): confirms $160M Series B, $1.3B valuation, TCV, Laqua, Yuan, $268M total, $108M Series A four months prior, YC unicorn. source-1 PR Newswire (13k chars): confirms 'centuries ago' Yuan quote verbatim, 'swings for the fences' Laqua quote verbatim, July 2025 carrier approval, full investor list, $268M, AI underwriting. source-2 The Next Web (6.7k chars): confirms OpenAI/fintech founder backgrounds, 'days to minutes' AI underwriting framing, full-stack-carrier-vs-broker distinction, TCV, trucking expansion. All factual claims are supported by at least one of the three snapshots — but several attributions point to the wrong cited source (see findings).

All specifics ($160M, $1.3B, $268M, $108M, $630M valuation, founders, July 2025 approval) are verified true. The misattributions are pointer errors, not fabrications — every fact is verifiable in the article's source array, just under a different URL than the inline link suggests.

APPROVE_WITH_CORRECTIONS. The article is a clean piece of funding-round reporting whose facts are all supported by its three cited sources. A pattern of inline misattribution (TC vs TNW vs PR Newswire) is documented in a single corrections record so readers see the provenance gap.
