Research gaps: Pass 2 replaces the IndexBox trade-press claims about SpaceX and US defence stakes with Hancock's own 13F. Hancock's 76.55% ownership is now primary-sourced from its SEC 13G; the Wikipedia Hancock_Prospecting URL is retracted, which also drops the S. Kidman 67% entry (not re-verified). Roy Hill 70%, Hope Downs 50% and the Hope Downs/Grassy Mountain litigation are still Wikipedia-sourced. MP Materials % not recomputed: the 13F gives only shares.
