VERIFIED
Has evidence
Date, conditions, raw records, reproduction method, named owner. Facts may be stated with their envelope. Not “in production”.
CLAIM ONLY WHAT WE CAN REPEAT
Define evidence before performance
This page publishes boundaries, gates and claim labels. Demo operating numbers from a handover pack are excluded. R&D targets need dated tests, conditions, raw records and a reproduction method.
Website, pitch deck, business plan, press and subsidy filings must share one fact base. Confined-space hardware is especially easy to over-claim: a concept render plus a competitor datasheet can be misread as a validated product. PipeGuardian therefore locks claim rights behind G0–G6.
SOURCE FACT
Third-party fact
Official statistics, customer documents or public product pages, cited with link and retrieval date. Not our achievement.
TARGET
R&D target
Must read “target / planned / candidate”. Diameter, endurance and standoff live here until tests close.
ASSUMPTION
Commercial assumption
Pricing, volume, valuation, subsidy forecasts. Sensitivity required. RMB 20M pre-money is not a traded price.
| Gate | Question | Minimum pass evidence |
|---|---|---|
| G0 | Is the job real and bounded? | 5–8 interviews, 3 site flows, requirements baseline |
| G1 | Can structure hit, be repaired, spare the rotors? | Multi-angle impact, 10-minute module swap target, failure list |
| G2 | Stable in-pipe, abort on loss of link? | 30 m straight + bends, flight logs, reproduction script |
| G3 | Can data sync, calibrate and trace? | Dictionary, calibration, time and segment index |
| G4 | Is the assist model honest? | Held-out set, recall/false-alarm intervals, misses |
| G5 | Is the customer process actually better? | Paired tasks, third-party/customer acceptance, value metrics |
| G6 | Can we manufacture and comply? | Reliability, FMEA, maintenance, electrical/radio/battery files |
