You're In Business

While Figure AI is a recognized leader in humanoid robotics with significant valuation and technical promise, this specific submission contains demonstrably false claims regarding user adoption ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate financial data ('17M marketcap' vs actual multi-billion valuation). The score reflects the pre-commercial status of the hardware and the low quality of the provided evidence, falling into the 'Minimal Traction' calibration bracket despite the company's high profile.
