**Yes, there are a few duplicates and near-duplicates, but not many. They mostly show up as repeated company names across months. The checks compared company name, month, amount and stage only, so I can't say whether the other columns also match.** **Within a single month (likely true duplicates)** - **nowpurchase** appears twice in January with the same amount ($2,400,000) and the same stage (Seed). This looks like an exact duplicate. - **securden** appears twice in April with the same stage (Series A). The amounts are written differently, `$11.700,000` and `$11,700,000`, but they are the same $11.7M. This is a near-duplicate caused by inconsistent number formatting. **Across months (same company in two or more months)** - **lummo** has Jan and Feb rows that are both $80,000,000 Series C. It is probably the same round reported twice, though two rounds is also possible. - **Probably separate rounds:** most other repeats have different amounts or stages. Examples are pine labs (4 rows with 4 different amounts), chargebee, dealshare, xpressbees, licious, swiggy, mamaearth and classplus. These look like real follow-on funding events rather than copies. - **Unclear cases:** classplus has Series D in both March ($70M) and April ($129.5M), and xpressbees has Series F in both February and April. Both could be genuine separate announcements. **Related quality problems** - **Inconsistent amount formats.** Some amounts use a dot as the thousands separator (`$468.200,000`, `$624.800,000`, `$129.500,000`). Livspace has `$431.6`, which looks truncated. Any attempt to match rows by amount has to clean these first. - **Blank rows in May.** The company-name grouping shows 19 rows with no company name, all from May. The card already flags the May file as having misaligned or blank rows. These are mostly empty, so they look like blank filler rather than duplicates. They should be removed before analysis. In total, 15 company names appear more than once, including the blank group. Only **nowpurchase** and **securden** are clear same-month duplicates, with **lummo** a plausible cross-month one.
