RoboScore
73.22 RoboScore + 2.42 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.

Milestones
Announced completion of a CNY 200 million C+ financing round.
