A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Harvard.
In Research & Prototype, Saildrone, HEBI Robotics and NASA have deployment evidence on file.

RoboScore
63.30 RoboScore + 0.15 Momentum· 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.

Why Harvard has been in the news, across 1 outlet — 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
Switzerland sits outside the EU Safety Gate and we have found no national product-incident register covering robots. A blank record here is unmeasured.
