The reality / Our research standard

A demonstration is a starting point.

Useful intelligence starts with understanding what the evidence supports. We distinguish announcements, factory pilots, and reported operation — and make the gaps visible.

How we read the evidence
  1. 01

    Manufacturer claims

    What the company says its technology can do.

  2. 02

    Documented deployments

    Named sites, identifiable tasks, and source material.

  3. 03

    Independent testing

    A separate standard, requiring a documented external test protocol.
