This supports exact-model presence at a named customer, but no exact delivery day, sale, transfer of title, quantity, or scaled operation.",
    "The general introduction timeline event has no sector; the first-demo event retains its automotive sector. No exact first-customer-delivery event is asserted.",
    "locomotion left out (2026-09-21): searched the manufacturer's own product/press page and its main launch coverage (The Robot Report / IEEE Spectrum / named outlet where applicable) for a literal quote naming the propulsion (\"bipedal\", \"legs\", \"walks\", \"wheeled base\", etc.); none of the pages fetched in this pass contained a checkable sentence naming it specifically for Figure 03 -- most pages describe height/DOF/speed without ever stating the locomotion type in words. Left out rather than inferred from photos or category. Revisit with a source that states it directly.",

Secondary report of a manufacturer claim; output, not deliveries or customer placements; no exact date, so no volume-estimate timeline event and delivery.status unchanged. The same article says Figure 04 completed design lock; Figure 04 is not in the dataset."
