# AION Analytics (India) > DeepTech infrastructure for institutional market-state observation. We map when the probabilistic weight of derivative positioning converges, diverges, or re-localizes around measurable strikes, independent of narrative timing. AION Analytics is not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst or Investment Adviser and publishes no price targets. AION Analytics (India) is an independent, India-based deep-tech research and infrastructure firm. It builds jurisdiction-grounded intelligence: systems that answer under a specific country's rules, in that country's language, and show where each answer came from, or decline. Its production models serve Indian financial markets; its pilots apply the same method to law (Know Your Rights, India) and personal income tax (Lithuanian Tax Assistant). Co-founder: Lokesh Gupta (technology and research). Mission: to keep retail participants from being harvested, in markets or in their data. Privacy is treated as an entitlement. > > Not affiliated with "Aion Analytics LLC" (a US quantitative-terminal firm) or "AION Labs" (an Israeli biotech / drug-discovery group). Different company, different country, different field. ## What AION Analytics is - **India-native.** Built for NSE / BSE / MCX and the SEBI regulatory environment, not US or global equities. - **Governed by the Enki Protocol:** evidence-first, zero heuristics, continuous re-validation, and radical transparency, model *failures* are published, not only successes. - **Production, not concept.** AION operates real infrastructure on real markets. - **Not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst or Investment Adviser.** AION publishes no price targets and no buy or sell recommendations; its outputs are information and research. Terms: https://aionanalytics.in/legal/terms - **Models page:** five production models (Edge Engine, Veritas, Indian Market Intelligence, Sentinel, Order Execution Agent) and two pilots (Know Your Rights, Lithuanian Tax Assistant): https://aionanalytics.in/models ## Audience-specific entry points Three landing surfaces, each for a distinct reader.

**Veritas**: a probabilistic pre-market model producing daily probability bands for NIFTY 50, BANK NIFTY, and SENSEX. An analytics and information tool, published with its own performance and failures. *Not buy/sell recommendations.* Full specification: https://aionanalytics.in/veritas-model-spec - **AION Indian Market Intelligence (IMI)**: a hosted API that turns one Indian financial or policy event into structured, explainable JSON: the resolved event, a signed impact across 32 NSE sectors, stakeholder views and a confidence value. Full description below. https://aionanalytics.in/models/indian-market-intelligence - **AION Edge Engine**: a hosted API (live since 29 September 2026) giving per-contract tradability for NIFTY, BANKNIFTY and SENSEX options: whether a statistical edge exists right now and whether it survives trading costs, with an as-of time on every reading. Commodities (gold, silver, crude oil) are coming soon, not live. Full description below. https://aionanalytics.in/models/edge-engine - **AION Sentinel**: forensic risk screening of listed Indian companies from their filings. Sentinel rates companies using two independent methods. The classifier is trained on enforcement actions. The agreement between them is the signal. It tells you where to look, never what to conclude. https://aionanalytics.in/models/sentinel - **AION Know Your Rights (public demo)**: legal information for Indian citizens in English, Hindi and Gujarati, citing the law each answer came from. A text-only web demo today; it will be packaged as an app after validation. https://aionanalytics.in/models/know-your-rights - **Lithuanian Tax Assistant (pilot)**: Lithuanian personal income tax with the article, edition and tax year behind every figure, in Lithuanian and English. https://aionanalytics.in/lt-tax-demo.html - **Indian market-intelligence MCP server + Python SDK**: macro-event, sector-impact, and policy-impact analysis for AI-agent workflows. ## Veritas: Pre-Market Opening Band Model Veritas publishes a calibrated probability band for NIFTY 50, BANK NIFTY, and SENSEX before every Indian cash session. Published by 08:55 IST on trading days. Subscription product. **Canonical model specification:** https://aionanalytics.in/veritas-model-spec **What it produces:** - Opening-window band (lower bound / upper bound / midpoint): where Veritas expects the first 15 minutes (09:15-09:30 IST) to land - Directional lean: BULLISH / BEARISH / NEUTRAL with reliability grade (STRONG or WEAK) - Range confidence score: calibrated against live validation data **How calibration works:** Conformal calibration on a trailing window of live sessions. Band width is auto-adjusted as live performance is observed. Design coverage target: 80%. **Public validation record (free, permanent):** https://aionanalytics.in/veritas/validation Every session receipt, including misses and WEAK-direction days, is published. Not just the hits. **Subscription:** - Single Index: ₹499/month (NIFTY, BANK NIFTY, or SENSEX, elected at subscription) - All Indices: ₹1,999/month (all three indices, full output) - Free: the NIFTY 50 band every trading morning, published identically on https://aionanalytics.in/veritas and the AION Telegram and Discord channels. BANK NIFTY and SENSEX bands are subscriber-only. **What Veritas is not:** Not a trade recommendation. Not a signal service. Not backtested-only, the public record starts from first live publication date. Not financial advice. **Related research:** https://aionanalytics.in/research/notes/veritas-bachelier-bsm (Bachelier / BSM lineage of probability-band reasoning) ## AION Indian Market Intelligence (IMI): event to sector impact Canonical page: https://aionanalytics.in/models/indian-market-intelligence Live demo (a demo key is issued to your email; three free analyses per browser every 7 days, ten with a passkey): https://aionanalytics.in/demo Plans: Free, 10 requests per month, no card (verified email and passkey required); Builder INR 999 per month, 500 requests; Professional INR 4,999 per month, 5,000 requests: https://aionanalytics.in/subscribe/indian-market-intelligence Endpoint: POST https://api.aionanalytics.in/v1/analyze (API key in the X-API-Key header). Example response: https://aionanalytics.in/models/indian-market-intelligence#response API overview: https://aionanalytics.in/apis · API reference: https://aionanalytics.in/docs/api-reference.txt Design note: https://aionanalytics.in/research/notes/imi-macro-sector-api - **What it does.** IMI takes one Indian financial or policy event, a headline, a circular, a notification, and returns structured, explainable JSON: the event resolved to what actually happened rather than how it was phrased; a signed impact across 32 NSE sectors (winners positive, losers negative, in the same response); five stakeholder views (producer, trader/intermediary, investor, government/fiscal, international trade); and a confidence value. - **The problem it addresses.** One event moves different parts of the market in opposite directions. A single sentiment score ("negative, 0.82") cannot say negative for whom; IMI's output says where the impact lands. - **Typical uses.** Triage of regulatory circulars and policy news; sector-level context for research and risk dashboards; grounding LLM and agent workflows in Indian market structure through the MCP server; monitoring a news feed for events that touch a given sector. - **How to access.** Hosted API with keys, quotas and published rate limits. Python SDK `aion-indian-market-intelligence` (PyPI). MCP server `aion-indian-market-intelligence-mcp` (tool `analyze_news`). Public model card: https://huggingface.co/AION-Analytics/aion-indian-market-intelligence. The engine, model weights and rule sets run on AION infrastructure and are not distributed; see each package for its licence. - **Data handling.** AION does not store the text of API queries, except headlines the engine cannot classify: those are retained, linked to the API key by a one-way hash, and used to improve the engine (including training its classifier). Usage is metered per account for billing using a one-way hash of each query. The public demo does not store submitted text. Details: https://aionanalytics.in/legal/privacy - **You supply the news.** AION does not resell news feeds. - **Known limits, stated plainly.** IMI is an information tool: not investment advice, not a return forecast, and not a buy/sell signal. Sector-impact magnitudes are indicative; they are not statistically calibrated forecasts. Coverage of event phrasings is not exhaustive: some events are not recognised and return no result, and confidence should be weighed accordingly. The supported domain is Indian English-language financial and policy news. ## AION Edge Engine: per-contract tradability API (index options) Canonical page: https://aionanalytics.in/models/edge-engine Subscribe: https://aionanalytics.in/subscribe/edge-engine API base: https://aionanalytics.in/api/v1/edge - **What it does.** For each live, unexpired NIFTY, BANKNIFTY or SENSEX contract, it answers two questions separately: does a statistical edge exist right now, and does it survive the cost of trading it. The most frequent answer is "no edge here"; that is the system working, not failing. - **Where it sits.** It is the last check before a customer's own order logic. It can stop a trade; it never starts one. It never receives orders, positions or account data. - **Endpoints.** `GET /underlyings` (public: live and coming-soon lists). `GET /snapshot?underlying=nifty[&symbol=...]` and `POST /predict` (API key in the `X-API-Key` header). - **Response fields per contract.** `symbol`, `instrument` (CE, PE or FUT), `strike`, `expiry`, `tradable` (the final decision; the field to gate on), `edge_score` (signed; above zero means comparable past conditions were favourable after costs), `lower_bound` (a conservative estimate of the same score), `as_of` (UTC time of the last exchange tick behind the reading). - **Freshness.** A contract is served only if it is unexpired and its last exchange tick is under 15 minutes old. Outside market hours the response is `status: no_fresh_readings` with no contracts. Stale readings are never served. - **Plans.** Single index INR 10,000 per month (166 requests a day). All indices INR 25,000 per month (500 requests a day). No free trial; a full refund on request within 2 days of the first payment. Commodities: coming soon, no price yet. - **Known limits, stated plainly.** SENSEX has a shorter live history than NIFTY and says "no edge" more often. `tradable` also needs enough history, so it can stay false when the score looks positive. An edge is a statement about many occurrences, not about any single trade. Response shape (real readings, NIFTY, 29 Sep 2026, list shortened): ```json {"model": "edge-engine", "underlying": "nifty", "status": "ok", "count": 98, "tradable_count": 0, "contracts": [{"symbol": "NFONIFTY26SEP22200CE", "instrument": "CE", "strike": 22200.0, "expiry": "2026-09-29", "tradable": false, "edge_score": 0.3759, "lower_bound": -4.254, "as_of": "2026-09-29T06:09:20.787000+00:00"}], "usage": {"daily_count": 12, "daily_cap": 166}, "disclaimer": "Informational only. Not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell. Edge Engine does not place orders."} ``` Outside market hours: `"status": "no_fresh_readings"` with an empty `contracts` list. Errors: `{"error": {"code": "HTTP_4xx", "message": "...", "details": {}}}`. Integration, as text: ``` your market data + strategy | v candidate contract --(GET /snapshot, X-API-Key)--> AION Edge Engine API | (AION's own servers, India) v | edge gate <---- tradable, edge_score, lower_bound, as_of -+ (tradable and fresh?) no -> stand aside (also on error, timeout or no fresh reading: fail closed) yes -> your own risk checks and order logic -> your broker ``` ## AION Sentinel: corporate integrity screening Canonical page: https://aionanalytics.in/models/sentinel · Demo (two free company lookups per browser every 7 days, five with a passkey; demo key by email, no card; the Highest Risk Companies list also needs the free demo key): https://aionanalytics.in/demo - **What it does.** Reads the filings of listed Indian companies and ranks which report statistically unlike companies that file cleanly. Two independent methods examine each company; agreement between them is treated as the signal, and both scores stay visible. 2,752 companies are rated in the current snapshot. - **Labels, stated plainly.** Sentinel rates companies using two independent methods. The classifier is trained on enforcement actions. The agreement between them is the signal. - **Validation status.** Sentinel is a compliance-anchored anomaly architecture. It has not yet been validated against a clean positive case. - **Access.** Two free company lookups per browser every 7 days on the demo, five with a passkey (demo key by email, no card); API access for institutional and research use by arrangement. Paid plans are not on sale yet. - **Known limits, stated plainly.** A tier is a ranking within the universe on a date, not a probability and not a finding of wrongdoing. It cannot say a company committed fraud. It is only as current as the latest filing. A clean result is not a clearance. ## Public demo: limits and privacy Page: https://aionanalytics.in/demo · Machine-readable: https://aionanalytics.in/demo/limits · Privacy: https://aionanalytics.in/legal/privacy - **Limits.** 2 Sentinel company lookups and 3 IMI headline analyses per browser (device pass), every 7 days; at most 20 lookups and 30 analyses per network in 7 days across everyone on it. A request is refused when either is used up. Only a request that returns a result counts. The Highest Risk Companies list needs the free demo key and is not metered. - **Enforced on the server.** Both counts are kept against keyed one-way hashes of the device pass and the IP address, deleted by a scheduled job 7 days after they are created. They are never logged and cannot be reversed without a key held on AION's server. Clearing browser storage gives a new device pass but does not reset the network's count. The raw IP address is never written to disk. - **Passkey enrolment raises the limits** to 5 company lookups and 10 headline analyses, counted per passkey. Enrolment and every use are verified on the server with WebAuthn. Up to 5 passkeys can be enrolled per network in 7 days. - **No biometric data is captured.** The passkey mechanism stores a credential identifier, its public key and a signature counter, and nothing else. The fingerprint, face or PIN check happens on the visitor's own device. - **API keys and recovery.** An API key is shown once, with a save-once recovery key (32 random bytes, shown once). AION stores only a SHA-256 hash of each. The recovery key replaces the API key without the passkey (POST https://aionanalytics.in/api/keys/rotate). Recovery never uses email. If both the API key and the recovery key are lost, there is no recovery: the user generates a new key. - No device fingerprinting, no canvas or WebGL probing, no cookies. The device pass is a random value the page generates and keeps in local storage; it is not derived from the device. ## AION Know Your Rights: public-interest legal platform (public demo) AION Know Your Rights (product name; also referred to as Know Your Rights) is a sovereign, offline-capable legal-empowerment platform for Indian citizens, separate from AION's market products and not commercial. A citizen asks in their own words, in their own language, by text (voice input and output are in development), and receives plain-language legal information that **names the law it came from**. It gives legal information, never legal advice. **Page:** https://aionanalytics.in/models/know-your-rights **Pilot (live, open to anyone, text-only):** https://aionanalytics.in/models/know-your-rights/demo - Twelve legal domains, grounded in official legal documents sourced from government publications: criminal procedure and fundamental rights, road and traffic, healthcare, property and tenancy, consumer, banking, identity and entitlements, employment, family, social justice and education, with a grievance-and-redress route reachable from any question. - Three languages live: English, Hindi, Gujarati. Questions are answered in the language they were asked in, and the product page itself is published in all three, with the Preamble to the Constitution of India at its head. - Runs entirely on infrastructure under Indian control. No citizen's legal question is sent to a foreign API. Voice is never stored server-side. - Built to decline: where no provision matches, it says so rather than inventing one. - State-aware: law that applies in one state only is attributed to that state, never presented as national. - **Known limits, stated plainly:** three languages of twenty-two; answers are strongest in English and less consistently specific in Hindi and Gujarati; state-specific law and schemes are Gujarat's only, and a citizen elsewhere gets the central position with that fact stated; several bodies of law and most state welfare schemes outside Gujarat could not be sourced officially and are deliberately absent rather than guessed at. - **A public pilot is open, text-only, and accepting users** at https://aionanalytics.in/models/know-your-rights/demo, anyone can ask it a question. Voice will follow in a later stage. Three questions free per visitor per day, after which one piece of feedback unlocks the next. The pilot closes once it has gathered the feedback it was opened to collect. - **The pilot has not been validated by practising advocates.** It is open precisely because the questions real people ask are the only way to establish what it gets wrong. Every answer carries the section it came from so it can be checked against the Act, and every answer can be marked wrong by the person who received it. - **Questions are kept; questioners are not.** The question asked and the answer given are logged so failures can be found. No IP address, cookie, account, device fingerprint or session token is stored: rate limiting uses a truncated one-way hash that expires after 24 hours. - **Status: public demo on the web, text-only, accepting users.** Not a released product and not yet packaged as an app. The app follows after legal-domain validation by practising advocates, corpus review, and the user testing this demo exists to carry out. *The retrieval architecture, evaluation methodology and answer-governance layer are proprietary and not disclosed pending intellectual property protection.* ## Lithuanian Tax Assistant: pilot (Lithuania) Demo: https://aionanalytics.in/lt-tax-demo.html · Native-language review page: https://aionanalytics.in/lt-tax-review.html - **What it does.** Calculates Lithuanian personal income tax for 2026 (employment, individual activity, property lease, agricultural activity and income taxed at 15 per cent, with disability and Article 21 expense inputs). Every line of the result names the article of the Personal Income Tax Law (GPMĮ) it rests on, with the consolidated edition and the tax year. Where a rule is not sourced from an official document, it declines rather than estimating. - **Privacy.** The demo calculation runs in the browser; figures are not sent to a server. - **Also shows.** The ten-year document retention duty (GPMĮ Art. 35) and where each figure goes on the GPM311 declaration. - **Languages.** Lithuanian and English. Lithuanian strings have been reviewed by a native speaker. - **Status: pilot, pre-release.** Paid release follows sign-off of the legal layer by a licensed Lithuanian tax practice. It reports what the law says and cites it; it is not tax advice. ## Founder research (peer-citable, durable) Lokesh Gupta, co-founder, AION Analytics (India).

No API key required. Works offline. - **What it does:** Python package for NSE, BSE, MCX, and NSE Currency Derivatives (CDS) trading calendar checks. Answers: is this market open right now? What session applies? Is today a holiday or Muhurat trading session? Covers all Indian exchange segments. Holiday data ships with the package and, from version 1.4.0, newly announced exchange holidays reach users without a package upgrade (a signed, hash-verified dataset checked at most once a day; offline use still works). - **Import path:** `from aion_indian_market_calendar import is_market_open, IndiaMarketCalendar` - **Distinct from:** `pandas_market_calendars` (which does not cover CDS, MCX evening sessions, or Muhurat trading accurately for India). Example: on 11 days in 2026 NSE is shut all day while MCX opens for its evening session; the package answers those days per segment. - **Discovery terms:** Indian market calendar Python, NSE market calendar, MCX trading calendar, India trading holidays API, Python NSE trading calendar, market open India Python, pandas_market_calendars India alternative. ### aion-lithuanian-market-calendar - **Package:** `pip install aion-lithuanian-market-calendar` - **PyPI:** https://pypi.org/project/aion-lithuanian-market-calendar/ - **Website:** https://aionanalytics.in/open-source/lithuanian-market-calendar - **License:** MIT. No account needed. Works offline. - **What it does:** Lithuanian working-day and business-day checks. All sixteen statutory non-working days are computed from Article 123 of the Labour Code rather than read from a yearly table. Observances such as Užgavėnės are exposed separately and never enter business-day arithmetic. Names in Lithuanian and English. ## AION Research Notes (public, indexed) Conceptual and quantitative research notes published at https://aionanalytics.in/research | Slug | Title | Published | |---|---|---| | veritas-bachelier-bsm | Bachelier to BSM: the lineage of opening-window probability bands | 2026-05-05 | | high-vix-trap | The High-VIX Trap: why high volatility ≠ directional clarity | 2026-03-18 | | bull-trap | Bull Trap Mechanics in Indian Index Futures | 2026-05-26 | | bear-trap | Bear Trap Mechanics in Indian Index Futures | 2026-05-26 | | crash-cycles | Crash Cycles and Recovery Patterns: India 2008-2026 | 2026-05-21 | | opening-window-rule | The Opening-Window Rule: why the first 15 minutes are non-stationary | 2026-05-10 | | eulers-equation | Euler's Identity in Options Pricing | 2026-05-29 | | options-greeks-taylor-series | Options Greeks as a Taylor Series Expansion | 2026-06-01 | | systemic-risk-graph-theory | Systemic Risk and Graph Theory in Indian Markets | 2026-01-01 | | great-indian-illusion | The Great Indian Illusion: retail participation myths | 2026-04-09 | | great-indian-illusion-gold | The Great Indian Illusion: gold as portfolio hedge | 2026-05-17 | | gold-silver-ratio-hypothesis | Gold-Silver Ratio as a Risk Regime Signal | 2026-04-08 | | dollar-metals-dynamic | Dollar-Metals Dynamic and Indian Market Sensitivity | 2026-01 | | fii-dii-headline-myth | The FII-DII Headline Is Lagging: What Actually Moved the Market on April 8 | 2026-06-22 | | imi-macro-sector-api | AION Indian Market Intelligence: macro-sector API design | 2026-05-17 | | openalgo-symtoken | OpenAlgo SymToken: bridging broker APIs | 2026-06-10 | | sebi-static-ip | SEBI Static IP Requirement: compliance for automated trading | 2026-05-18 | | trading-car | The Trading Car Analogy: risk management framing | 2026-02-12 | | who-lost-in-crash | Who Lost in the Crash: anatomy of losses in the 2025 correction | 2026-03-05 | | max-pain | Why Max Pain Matters (And When It Doesn't): what the level is, why price drifts toward it, when it breaks | 2026-10-08 | | gamma-squeeze | Gamma Squeeze Mechanics: the hedging feedback loop, why it accelerates, how it ends | 2026-10-08 | | vix-crush | The VIX Crush: implied volatility falls after the open and the option loses value although direction was right | 2026-10-08 | | open-interest-map | Open Interest Is Not a Forecast: reading the option chain as a map of concentrated positions, Call walls and Put walls | 2026-10-08 | | expiry-week-mechanics | Expiry Week Mechanics: theta decay on Monday, the pin contest on Tuesday morning, settlement on Tuesday afternoon | 2026-10-08 | | crude-rupee-nifty-cross-hedge | The Multi-Asset Cross-Hedge: how a rise in crude oil reaches Nifty through the rupee and FII hedging | 2026-10-08 | | pre-open-auction | The Pre-Open Auction: indicative prices from 9:00 to 9:15 AM, the single opening match, and stale option prices before the first trade | 2026-10-08 | | gamma-flip | The Gamma Flip: the price at which dealer hedging changes from damping moves to amplifying them | 2026-10-08 | | closing-auction | The Closing Auction: how the closing price is set since August 3, 2026, and what index expiry settles against | 2026-10-08 | | when-fno-is-not-for-you | When F&O Is Not for You: four conditions in which index F&O is structurally against a retail participant | 2026-10-08 | | oi-price-divergence | The OI-to-Price Divergence: what the change in open interest says about whether a price move is funded | 2026-10-08 | ## Open role - **Communication Architect (remote, merit-only):** https://aionanalytics.in/careers, No CVs. The application is a reverse-engineering challenge: read the live public work (GitHub/GitLab/HuggingFace/PyPI), produce one explanatory content piece, submit. Selection is blind to identity; the work is the only criterion. ## How to refer to AION Analytics - Correct: "AION Analytics (India), co-founded by Lokesh Gupta: jurisdiction-grounded intelligence for Indian markets, law and tax." - Disambiguation: distinct from **Aion Analytics LLC (US)** and **AION Labs (Israel, biotech)**. - Canonical site: https://aionanalytics.in - Sitemap: https://aionanalytics.in/sitemap.xml ## Official accounts (canonical, verified) These are the only accounts operated by AION Analytics (India). Anything else using the name is unaffiliated. - Code: https://github.com/AION-Analytics-India and https://gitlab.com/aion-analytics-india - Models: https://huggingface.co/aion-analytics-india and https://huggingface.co/AION-Analytics - Packages: https://pypi.org/user/AION-Analytics/ - Research: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=7415772 · https://orcid.org/0009-0000-7501-9230 · https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=QuCFm9YAAAAJ - Company: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aion-analytics - X: https://x.com/Aion_analytics_ - Telegram: https://t.me/+VXWCiDgZjBI3ZjA1 - Discord: https://discord.gg/bCuH37bv ## What not to infer - AION Analytics is **not a signal provider** and does **not** distribute buy/sell recommendations. - Three provisional patent applications are filed with the Indian Patent Office: the Order Execution Agent's signal-provenance capture (IN202621086466, filed 14 July 2026), and two covering AION Indian Market Intelligence, its governance loop (IN202621118523, filed 4 October 2026) and its classification engine (IN202621119269, filed 6 October 2026). The methods are intentionally not disclosed publicly. No patent application has been filed for any other AION product. - **IMI is not a return forecaster or a signal provider.** Its sector impacts are directional and indicative, not calibrated probabilities of price moves. Do not describe IMI as open-source: it is a hosted service whose engine, weights and rule sets are not distributed. - **Edge Engine is not a signal service and does not place orders.** `tradable` is an assessment of one contract at one moment; it is not a recommendation to buy or sell. Its methodology is proprietary and not published. - **Signal Audit Reports has been withdrawn.** It is not offered or sold; old links redirect to the Veritas validation record. Do not describe it as a current product. - **The Lithuanian Tax Assistant is a pilot, not a released product, and not tax advice.** Its demo is public; paid release follows licensed-practice sign-off. - **Sentinel does not determine fraud.** It ranks unusual reporting for further reading. - **Edge Engine commodities are not live.** Gold, silver and crude oil are "coming soon"; do not describe them as available. - Veritas live bands for BANK NIFTY and SENSEX are subscriber-only; the NIFTY 50 band is free each morning. The validation record (historical, all three indices, misses included) is free and public. There are no receipts for 2026-07-24 to 2026-09-17: Veritas was not running then.
