OnRobotShadow Robot Company▲ leads this factor

A maker's RoboScore is rated on Products 65% · Depth 5% · Evidence 30% — present for every company. Attention feeds Evidence; the rest are shown but move nothing. A hollow grey vertex means no data, not a low score. Claiming or paying moves nothing.

What the shapes say

Shadow Robot Company leads 4 of the six factors. The widest gap is Depth — Shadow Robot Company by 53 points.

ProductsShadow Robot Company +12

How good the robots this brand ships actually are, on the same RoboScore used for every robot.

DepthShadow Robot Company +53

How many distinct robots this brand ships. Worth at most five points — a deep catalogue is a fact about a brand, not a verdict on it.

ActivityShadow Robot Company +25

Whether the brand has shipped or announced something real recently, or has gone quiet. Built from product milestones and launch dates — not from news coverage, which is the separate Momentum score on the rankings.

Shown on the hexagon, but does not move the rating.

AttentionOnRobot +35

How much independent editorial press is covering this brand right now. Attention, not quality — it is one half of Evidence rather than a slice of its own, and a brand we hold no coverage for loses nothing.

No weight of its own — it feeds Evidence, and can only add to it.

ReadinessShadow Robot Company +30

Whether the practical integration facts — certifications, software, warranty, lead time — are published.

Shown on the hexagon, but does not move the rating.

EvidenceOnRobot +10

Independent proof this brand is real: customer deployments we have verified, and recent editorial coverage. Every company starts from the same baseline and earns the points above it — nothing a maker claims, declares or pays for counts here.

Side by side

Public catalog data. Nothing here is self-reported by the maker.
