Shanghai Kuo Long Cleaning MachineryWater Tech Cobalt▲ 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

Water Tech Cobalt leads 2 of the six factors. The widest gap is Activity — Water Tech Cobalt by 100 points. 1 factor can't be compared: one side has no data.

ProductsLevel

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

DepthLevel

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.

ActivityWater Tech Cobalt +100

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.

AttentionNo data on one side

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.

ReadinessWater Tech Cobalt +8

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

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

EvidenceLevel

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.
