Items flagged [needs research] across the streams, pending follow-up.

From Stream 0 — Footprint

• Reddit / r/fumetti sentiment on Bonelli Digital Classic — qualitative user perception not yet captured via structured search.
• Italian-language Facebook group analysis — fan communities may surface complaints and feature requests not visible in app store reviews.
• Status of Dylan Dog TV series production (Atomic Monster / James Wan) — last confirmed in development as of November 2025 Lucca panel, no platform or date announced.
• Status of Martin Mystère animated series — referenced in trade press but no update found.
• Whether any Bonelli titles are on Izneo or GlobalComix — not confirmed; Bonelli Digital Classic appears to be the exclusive digital channel but this has not been systematically verified.
• Whether CMON board game collaboration produces an international product — QMI licensing confirms domestic deal; international distribution unknown.
• Whether SBE has done any AR, motion comic, or vertical-scroll experiments not yet found — note: Orfani motion comic on Rai 4 discovered in Stream 0.5 as a precedent.
• Exact reconciliation of €28.3M vs €30.3M figures for 2024 — likely difference between “ricavi delle vendite” (ufficiocamerale.it) and “valore della produzione” (Abruzzo24ore); needs confirmation from the primary bilancio document.

From Stream 0.5 — Portfolio

• Confirmation that Orfani motion comic on Rai 4 (December 2014 – February 2015) was a true motion comic (animated panels with limited movement) vs. a fully animated short series — InsideArt and TV Tropes descriptions are ambiguous; DVD release exists but not reviewed.
• Whether any Audace label titles are on Bonelli Digital Classic or only sold via libreria/fumetteria/Bonelli Store — Audace is the adult imprint (Cani Sciolti, etc.); its digital status is unconfirmed.
• Latest print-run figures for Dylan Dog, Tex, Nathan Never specifically — needed for sizing the print P&L at risk in any digital-shift scenario. Last confirmed figures are from 2020–2022 trade press.
• Whether Bonelli Entertainment has digital-native format projects in development beyond TV/film — no Webtoon, motion comic, or interactive narrative projects confirmed.
