DEPLOY
Framework in action
This is the index of DEPLOY's framework-in-action work. Three classes of editorial output operate under the verified-vs-claimed framework: framework-in-action narratives that apply the framework to specific events, correction narratives that document where we got a record wrong and how we surfaced the catch, and methodology pillar essays that define the framework constructs at canonical reference depth.
For the core methodology canon, see /methodology/what-verified-means. For the corrections journal at editorial-anchor depth, see /corrections. For the cluster surfaces, see /explainers.
Framework-in-action narratives
Specific events read through the verified-vs-claimed framework. Each narrative anchors a worked example of the framework discipline at a primary-source verification depth.
The cohort's most severe verified incident; gray reload UNAFFECTED in blue/white reloads; root cause stated still under investigation per primary source.
incident-outcome-class
Within-da-Vinci year discipline distinguishes 2013 EndoWrist Hot Shears + 2022 SureForm fragment + 2026 SureForm gray-reload at year-class-failure-mode granularity.
within-entity-year-discipline
ROSA ONE Brain anchor of the software_defect cross-cohort root cause class (with Asensus Senhance 2023 + Stryker Mako 2024 + da Vinci Instrument Arm 2025).
software-defect-cross-cohort
Pre-Karl Storz acquisition corporate state preserved; 2023 incident sits before the August 22 2024 acquisition close.

Phase 3 Dim 1 actuarial substrate; three-axis substrate composition pattern canonical worked example; 128 nulls exposure_hours at honest-absence cap-flag.

5 components + 6 failure modes + 6 incidents at primary-source verification depth; source-inheritance discipline at zero new-URL fabrication.

Correction narratives
Where we got a record wrong and how we surfaced the catch. The recursive application of the verified-vs-claimed framework on DEPLOY's own corpus.
Dispatch framed Redwood as humanoid hardware sibling to NEO; registry verification confirmed brain entity at /brains/1x-redwood.
Entity-type discipline
PI at $5.6B verified; $10B and $38B figures belong to separate Bezos lab Project Prometheus; adjacent positioning produces conflation pressure.
Entity-distinction discipline
Two opposing aggregator framings both wrong; verified state is corporate entity continues with Ted Stinson as CEO; founders + ~25% staff to Amazon AGI Aug 2024.
Corporate-state precision
BMW Spartanburg was Figure 02 (30,000 X3 + 1,250 hours); Leipzig went to Hexagon AEON; Figure 03 = Catalyst Brands Reno per May 2026 partnership.
Three-layer aggregator-drift rejection
Army FOIA primary source verifies $12.9M LRIP obligated; 5,880 systems = Army OBJECTIVE not OBLIGATED; Black Widow replaced Skydio not Black Hornet.
Source-quality per-claim discipline
Pre-acquisition CEO was Benjamin Sexson; Unis is CMO + founder; ZB closed Monogram acquisition October 7 2025 (~$168M EV + CVR).
Small-fact role identification
SEC 10-K verifies Portage; aggregator coverage frequently defaults to Kalamazoo as regional shorthand.
Smallest-granularity small-fact discipline
FDA 510(k) K240598 verified clearance date June 2024 with Predetermined Change Control Plan; aggregator framing collapsed clearance state.
FDA clearance posture precision
FDA Z-1232-2026 posted 2026-02-02; both regulatory filing and incident slugs re-anchored from 2025 to 2026.
Slug-year discipline · data-quality
4 verified records via openFDA (Z-0489-2021 + Z-0106-2022 + Z-2720-2024 + Z-1134-2026); fda-recall-intuitive-ion-2025 deprecated; res.cfm 209213/188906 retired at honest-absence.
Slug-year discipline + landscape verification · data-quality
Wing re-anchored to October 2019 FAA Part 135; Matternet 2022 Part 135 deprecated (real record is type cert M2 2022); Matternet exemption stays at honest-absence (Section 44807, no corroborable number).

Methodology pillar essays
Canonical reference essays that define the framework constructs. These pillars live on the explainer surface; the operating constructs they define drive every framework-in-action narrative and every correction above.
- How DEPLOY verifiesmethodology-canonical
The methodology editorial canonical; four-tier verification protocol applied across registry + signals + consumer surfaces.
- The 9-tier source-quality rubricsource-discipline
5 primary tiers + 2 secondary tiers + 1 aggregator tier + 1 unverified tier; per-claim source-quality discipline operationalized.
- Verified-vs-claimed at within-entity granularityverified-vs-claimed-depth
The framework operates at sub-fiscal-period, within-product-family, and per-feature granularity, not just at the entity layer.
- The 4-way autonomy-boundary taxonomyautonomy-classification
Autonomous-execution + AI-augmented operator-controlled + replacement-robotics teleoperated + assistive co-pilot; surgical cohort canonical worked example.

- How DEPLOY thinks about robot insuranceactuarial-framework
Four-dimension actuarial framework (Dim 1 incident outcome_class + deployment exposure_hours; Dim 2 manufacturer counterparty risk; Dim 3 supply-chain component failure; Dim 4 cross-jurisdictional regulatory state).
