Status & badge logic

Startups do not carry workflow status fields on the published entity. Visible badges are content-derived: Verified, Featured, sector / stage chips. Status changes (e.g. acquisition, shutdown) are handled by editorial pulling the entry from production, not by toggling a status flag.

Visible badges

Verified badge (chip-success / green)

Renders when `isVerified = true`. Top-right of the 16:9 logo canvas on cards; chip on the detail page. Always present in production data.

Featured strip (orange)

Renders when `isFeatured = true`. 1px orange strip across the top of the card. Indicates editorial-elevated entry.

Sector chip

`.chip-primary` with the localized sector name (FinTech / تقنية مالية, etc).

Stage marker

t-meta text in the card body (Series A / Series B / etc). Not a chip — keeps the card visually quieter.
