RoboScore
46.15 RoboScore + 2.23 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.
5 of 6 factors known. How it's calculated
On the company boards
- #25 of 26·Autonomous Vehicle·best robot 38.69 + depth 0.00 + news 2.23 = total 40.92
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
Milestones
Raised $1 billion and expanded from autonomous trucking into robotaxis through a partnership with Uber.
Closed a $200 million Series B round.

Why Waabi 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.
