RoboScore
67.95 RoboScore + 1.81 Momentum· Very strong evidence
Products, Range, Traction set the number — the three factors present for every company. Activity, Attention, Readiness describe the brand but never move it. A value we don't have reads —, never zero. Momentum is independently collected news coverage, worth at most 15 points and never a deduction — a maker we have heard nothing about keeps its full RoboScore. Claiming or paying moves nothing.

Why Exotec SAS has been in the news, across 3 outlets — collected and classified independently, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes a robot's RoboScore — the evidence half of the RoboIndex — and it can move a robot up a board by at most 15 points.
