DEPLOY Index
Which robot companies deliver on their claims
The physical-AI industry runs on public promises: units by year-end, full autonomy, named customers. This ledger tracks those dated claims against the evidence. The Claim Integrity Score is verified claims divided by resolved claims, from primary sources.
Methodology
- Verified: an independent primary source confirms the claim came true.
- Partly true: partially borne out. Contradicted: a source refutes it. Overdue: an implied deadline passed unmet. Open: outcome not yet determinable.
- Resolved = anything no longer open. Score = verified / resolved. A company needs at least two resolved claims to be ranked.
- Every claim keeps its verbatim quote, claim date, and source. Status is a DEPLOY assessment, not the company’s word.
- Disputes: a company may submit a correction with evidence; we log the response on the record and restate the status by adding a new event (the original stays on file).
