How does DEPLOY rank physical AI companies?

DEPLOY computes a composite intelligence score from six dimensions derived from verified registry data only: deploy power (verified deployments), financial health, hiring velocity, media reach, safety record, and IP activity. Companies below the data floor are listed but not ranked, because a leaderboard position is a claim.

What data are the DEPLOY rankings based on?

Only verified registry records: deployments, funding rounds and financial state, hiring snapshots, approved press coverage, incident history, and patent activity. No prose, opinion, or manufacturer self-report drives a score.

How often are the rankings updated?

Scores are recomputed nightly. This board was last computed as of Aug 22, 2026.
