Methodology: Cumulative-to-Sept-2024 per Science|Business. ledger #65. NOT refreshed to a comparable current series ON PURPOSE: public 2025 figures use incompatible deep tech taxonomies (Tracxn US ~$179bn vs Dealroom Europe $20.3bn, not comparable) and refreshing across them would repeat the report's own error. Scale anchor for the chart caption: Europe alone was $20.3bn of ANNUAL deep tech VC in 2025 (Dealroom), against the report's $14bn CUMULATIVE, so label units explicitly and treat the four bars as a 2024 cumulative snapshot, not a live comparison. Global deep tech ~$250bn in 2025; US ~45% of deals, Europe ~30%, Asia >20%.

Methodology: NEW refresh dataset. LATAM all-tech VC by year (Dealroom Deep Dive series for consistency). 2026 is H1 $3.1bn actual → $6.2bn full-year projection (projected:true). LAVCA equity-only figures run lower (~$4.1bn 2025); the gap is debt/structured instruments, see methodology.md. Not deep-tech-specific.

Methodology: ECLAC Graph I.3, 2019 data (ledger #75/#97). us-eu government = 25 is the midpoint of the report's "20–30" range. Superseded framing: UIS 2026 gives LAC R&D at 0.57% of GDP vs 1.92% global, a stronger level comparison than this composition split.

SourceDealroom.co, Deep Tech Overview: Latin America

Methodology: Dealroom LATAM deep tech CVC (ledger #127). 2021 is "n/a" in the report (null). Fell 70% from the 2022 peak but still 4× the 2020 base, present the full series, not just the 4×. Needs 2025/H1-2026 extension.
