AI Reasoning: I found a page from AllFly announcing a raise dated Dec 3, 2024 that notes Nina Essandoh joined as a board observer for AllFly. The investment (AllFly) therefore occurred on Dec 3, 2024, which is less than 11 months prior to the reference date; specifically it is about 11 months before today. That places her last known investment within the last 6-12 months? Wait recalc: From Dec 3, 2024 to Nov 1, 2025 is 11 months minus 2 days? Actually less than 12 months and more than 6 months – but the tag definitions: very-active = less than 6 months. The most recent investment is Dec 3, 2024 which is 11 months ago, which falls into active category. However earlier note: The AllFly page shows Dec 3, 2024 and indicates participation from Corazon Capital and Nina Essandoh. Therefore classification should be “active”.

Low Activity – Only known angel investments more than 12 months ago.

Active – Known angel investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Very Active – Known angel investments in the last 6 months.
