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.

The clearest reality-and-attention balance is Digit (97th reality, 96th attention).
Robody operates more than it is covered (gap -87.3).
