RoboScore
46.87 RoboScore + 0.00 Momentum· Adequate 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.

Fast Company
Public loss record
US makers file into registers that compel reporting — device adverse events to the FDA, driverless crashes to NHTSA, workplace deaths to OSHA. A maker with no record here has genuinely not had one filed against it.
