RoboScore
69.78 RoboScore + 3.75 Momentum· Very strong evidence
Products 65%, Depth 5%, Evidence 30% set the number, and every rated company has all three. Attention has no weight of its own — it is one of the two things Evidence is built from, and it can only ever add. Activity and 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.

A board total ranks makers within one category. It is built from the best robot's RoboScore, a capped credit for more ranked robots, and news. It is not this company's RoboIndex above. How boards work

Why Exotec SAS has been in the news, across 5 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.
Public loss record
Consumer product alerts from this country reach the EU Safety Gate, which we read. Industrial, workplace and medical incidents never enter it, so a blank record says nothing about those.
