Notes and record state

Record note
Reuters announced the platform in September 2017, while the live platform launch reference used here is 2017-12-18. Terminal handling uses the 2020-01-10 shutdown/audit notice. Death reason is kept as unknown because public reporting described a shutdown and balance-audit period, with bankruptcy and exit-scam rumors not treated here as a confirmed terminal cause.
