Claims ≠ proof
A vendor datasheet is useful, but it is always labeled as a manufacturer claim. Public demos and field data get separate evidence classes.
Useworthy separates manufacturer claims from independent tests and real-world evidence — focusing on whether robots are reliable, autonomous, safe and genuinely useful to people.
Early-stage robots often have rich specifications but little long-term evidence. Useworthy makes that gap visible instead of filling it with a synthetic score.

Hardware revision, firmware and test conditions matter. A safety or autonomy result is never treated as timeless.
The long-term target is human interventions per 100 productive hours, unplanned downtime, autonomous recovery and true cost per productive hour.
