Methodology. Emerging Spaces groups the tracked private-company roster into curated thematic spaces and scores each space's momentum 0–100 from four disclosed-data components: trailing-90-day capital vs the prior 90 days (40%), deal-count acceleration on the same windows (25%), news activity per tracked company over 30 days (20%), and the median secondary-market premium to last round across the space's marked names (15%). Components that cannot be computed are dropped and the weights renormalize — the basis is disclosed per space. Quarterly trends derive from dated, disclosed rounds; undisclosed amounts count as zero capital. An attention map of disclosed activity — not a prediction, not investment advice.
