Verified deployments, not claimed fleets

This ranking counts deployment records that cleared DEPLOY’s review, so it measures where robots are confirmed operating, not how many a company says it has shipped. A maker can claim a large fleet and still sit low here if few of those deployments are independently on record. The gap between the two is the point.
