The Hype Gap Quadrant
Verified reality against media attention, as form-factor percentiles. A dot above the parity line draws more attention than its verified footprint supports. The verified axis is the part no one else can compute.
As of July 2026, among 63 verified humanoids, the widest Hype Gap belongs to AEON: attention at the 85th percentile against reality at the 16th, a gap of +69.
The clearest reality-and-attention balance is Digit (98th reality, 96th attention).
Robody operates more than it is covered (gap -87.3).
