Rationale
| Dimension |
Rationale |
| Reliability |
Medium. Based on leaked or shared internal financial documents, not independently audited. Fortune is a credible outlet but the underlying data originates from OpenAI and has not been verified by a third-party auditor. |
| Relevance |
High. Directly addresses OpenAI's revenue, losses, and profitability timeline — central to the query. |
| Bias flags |
Possible selective disclosure by OpenAI. Internal projections shared with media or investors may present an optimistic picture to support fundraising narratives. COI concern: OpenAI has a direct incentive to show favorable forward projections when raising capital. |
