65,000+ hours of paid operation across nine sites is the strongest field-hours evidence of any programme on this list. Agility does not publish an autonomy or intervention rate. Going public via SPAC with Churchill Capital Corp XI at $2.5bn pre-money, ~$620M gross proceeds. >$300M contracted backlog. 2025 opex ~$111M, still unprofitable. SPAC filings disclose 65,000+ operating hours across nine customer sites. Press reports of “~1,000 robots deployed” appear to restate a 1,000-unit three-year contract inside the $300M backlog: 65,000 hours over 1,000 robots would be 65 hours each, so the fielded fleet is almost certainly in the tens.

Claims 99.5% success on wire assembly — but on industrial arms running its software, not on Phoenix. Over $140M raised. Undisclosed strategic investment from Zeon Corporation, May 2026. Founder-CEO departed Nov 2024 alongside ~30 layoffs; new CEO from Jun 2026. Sanctuary’s own site now positions Phoenix as a data-capture platform rather than a product. The company sells hardware-agnostic physical-AI software running on industrial arms. Sources for this rowSanctuary AI — Phoenix unveiling 16 May 2023 | ||||||||

“Real2Sim2Real” training pipeline. No autonomy metrics published. Acquired by Mobileye for ~$900M, announced 6 Jan 2026. Amnon Shashua co-founded both companies. Mobileye agreed to acquire Mentee for ~$900M in Jan 2026, against a ~$162M valuation at a round earlier that year and only ~$21M raised. Post-deal roadmap: proof of concept in fulfilment and assembly 2026, first experimental batch 2027, commercial in structured industrial settings 2028. | ||||||||
The figures
Drawn from the same values as the table, with the same sources and the same dates.
To-scale silhouette
Void hatch
The same 45° hatch the table cells use, at the scale of a card. It says one thing: not that the value is zero, but that nobody published it. Where there is no number there is no figure either — a plausible drawing in place of a missing measurement is how a reference becomes a beautiful lie.
The record
Corrections are louder than additions. That is the point.

Method
Every number carries its source
Each cell records the document it came from, the date that document carries, and the day we last confirmed the document still says it. Two dates, never one: a 2021 label checked yesterday and a 2021 label last checked two years ago are worth completely different amounts.
Claimed is not confirmed
A press release and an audited filing do not weigh the same. The ladder is mechanical, not editorial: a value resting on a press release cannot be recorded as confirmed, whatever it says.
Empty stays empty
Where nobody published a number, the cell carries the 45° hatch and says why. We never interpolate a plausible value, and the empty never sorts as zero.
Failures are kept
Shutdowns, refusals, missed endpoints and slipped dates stay on the record. An entity is never deleted — a deletion is the one edit a changelog built from the rows themselves cannot log.
The data belongs to whoever reads it
Every list publishes its dataset with all sources intact, under CC BY 4.0. A list you cannot take away is not a reference.
Cadence
Full re-verification every 14 days. When the queue cannot keep up, the honest fix is to widen the cadence in public, not to let the clock drift in private.
