These are fair questions and I encourage others to answer additionally. Totally agree that we can only speculate.

1. From the OEM's standpoint even if they're comfortable with the value they are paying for in purchasing Sigma's software, because Sigma is a very small upstart of a company and isn't by any means a household name, why would the OEM perceive any added value in advertising a third party provider of QA technology. This isn't like a computer manufacturer who entices with "Intel...Inside"

Perhaps they view it as more positive just to indicate without attribution to Sigma that their process/equipment utilizes QAssurance technology. (Certainly that's a speculative answer, as you requested). Also, not sure about the following either -- but if the customer, the OEM, isn't demanding disclosure rights re the QA software developer, maybe Sigma mgmt would rather keep competitors guessing as to the OEM they've put under contract. (Not claiming certainty on this answer either).

Re GE question, again a speculative answer -- if an industrial behemoth is in a partnership with a tiny company and their work together is still in a developmental phase and the nature of the work regards quality assurance of high importance and the partnership also involves a government program, what reason really would GE have to say much? Sigma of course stands to gain re the PR and connotation of association with GE, but the reverse isn't necessarily the case.

This all said, I think your questions are reasonable and I encourage others to add their perspectives.
