	The project was, during the early 1980s, seen by Bock as the "poorer cousin" to the early Animus program, as it received less funding and was reliant on scientific co-operation with Vidic. However, indications that an artifact had been located in one of the memories raised the attention of Abstergo Industries and provided assurances of a tripling in program funding if further information could be obtained.<ref name="AC4" />		The project was, during the early 1980s, seen by Bock as the "poorer cousin" to the early Animus program, as it received less funding and was reliant on scientific co-operation with Vidic.
