Sources & notes

Record note: Note on Chinese-invested background: the parent company is Ant Group (Hangzhou, 2014); Ant International has operated independently with Singapore as its headquarters since 2024. Ant's earlier presence in Singapore (e.g., its digital wholesale bank licence) was not verified in this round, so entry_year follows the EDB report's date of 2023. ⚠ 2026-09-13 全库回扫处置：回扫判定 ANNOUNCEMENT_ONLY。五条来源只对应三个事实源头：2023-10-09 海峡时报报道（EDB 招商栏目转载）、2024-12-05 与 2025-06-03 两份企业通稿；SCMP 与 fintechnews.sg 同源于后者，且 SCMP 与当事方同属阿里集团，n_sources 应记 3 而非 5。唯一独立来源只支撑「新加坡实体在运营」一层，且早于 2024 年 3 月分拆与 2025 年 6 月 GenAI Cockpit 发布；AI 落地层零独立来源，自证口径亦为将来时，公告推广范围为东南亚与南亚，未点名新加坡为部署市场。本次改动：reliability 由 High 降为 Medium；deployment_status 保留 Landed，但仅限实体在运营这一层，GenAI Cockpit 须改述为「2025-06-03/04 发布，首批外部客户部署自 2025 年 6 月起计划推进」。另须修正 source_is_official 1→0、source_type 改为媒体，伙伴重填为 IMDA／南洋理工大学／NETS，entry_year 2023→≤2020，hq_city 与 hq_country 口径择一，scale_text 系 Alipay+ 全球口径，展示须同屏 MARKET_INTEL_CAVEAT。恢复条件：AI 层升回 Landed 须补一条独立且非将来时的证据——署名记者独立采写、指名新加坡本地客户实际使用 GenAI Cockpit 的报道，或 MAS／IMDA 的在册／沙盒官方名单。
