Why it matters

The exit already happened, so this is not a guess about intent. What remains in the portfolio is what is still to be settled, and the age says the settling has a deadline that cannot be postponed forever. It carries the highest measured sale lift of any operator archetype.

The play

The warmest operator lead on the register. Approach about the rest of the portfolio rather than the company already sold — they have just been through the process and know exactly what it cost them.

How it's kept honest

The archetype is computed from the resolved ownership graph — the same person matched across every company they touch — and only for people who actually carry owner-level evidence: a portfolio of two or more, or at least one recorded exit. A single-company majority would carry nothing to read. Where the register is silent about a role, the silence is treated as unknown and never as a no. Like every signal the scout raises: a prompt to look closer, never a verdict.
