Methodology

How Korthos tracks robotics, classifies intelligence, and handles sources, supply chains, and updates.

Korthos publishes crawlable robotics intelligence across companies, products, research, events, public markets, geography, relationships, and supply chains.

Methodology

Korthos tracks robotics through public sources, submitted information, private inquiries, and manual review.

The system structures information from company announcements, product pages, filings, research releases, funding disclosures, procurement notices, deployment updates, correspondence, and other source material that can be checked or responsibly attributed.

The goal is to map where robotics is being built, financed, deployed, commercialised, and connected through products, markets, and supply chains.

WHAT KORTHOS TRACKS

Korthos structures intelligence across several core layers.

Companies

Robotics companies, automation providers, component suppliers, software platforms, infrastructure providers, and other firms with observable exposure to robotics and autonomy.

Products

Robots, autonomous systems, software platforms, components, sensors, compute layers, and other products that form part of the robotics stack.

Events

Funding rounds, deployments, commercial orders, partnerships, product launches, production milestones, acquisitions, research releases, and other company-level signals.

Markets

Sector and segment views built from observed activity across companies, products, deployments, funding, and supply-chain exposure.

Supply chains

Directional supplier, customer, integration, and component relationships where there is enough evidence to support the relationship.

HOW ITEMS ARE INCLUDED

Korthos prioritises attributable evidence over loose claims.

An item may be included when there is a named company or product, a robotics-relevant signal, and enough information to classify it responsibly.

Strong sources include company announcements, filings, official product pages, procurement records, customer disclosures, investor announcements, primary research pages, and direct correspondence.

Submitted information and private inquiries may inform coverage, corrections, classification, and follow-up research. They are not treated as public fact by default. Where direct information cannot be published, Korthos may use it to guide verification, improve internal classification, or request supporting material.

Secondary reporting may be used when it points to a clear underlying event or when the source is credible, but Korthos avoids treating unsourced commentary, vague ecosystem language, or promotional claims as structural fact.

Inclusion does not mean endorsement, investment recommendation, or confirmation that a company will succeed commercially.

CLASSIFICATION

Korthos classifies companies, products, and events by their observable role.

A company may be classified by the market it serves, the products it builds, the systems it enables, or its position in the robotics stack.

Products are classified by form, function, segment, and technical role where enough information is available.

Events are classified by what actually happened. A product reveal is not treated as a deployment. A pilot is not treated as a scaled rollout. A partnership is not treated as a supply-chain relationship unless the supplied product, component, or service is clear.

SUPPLY CHAIN INTELLIGENCE

Korthos treats supply-chain relationships separately from general partnerships.

A supply-chain edge requires a directional relationship between entities, such as a supplier, customer, component provider, integration partner, or platform dependency. Broad ecosystem mentions, reseller language, and loose strategic partnerships are not enough on their own.

Where evidence is partial, Korthos may classify the relationship with lower confidence or leave it out of the supply-chain layer entirely.

HUMAN REVIEW

Korthos is not a raw scraper or automated aggregator.

Automated collection can help surface signals, but records are structured through review, classification, deduplication, and source checking. The emphasis is on turning fragmented information into usable market intelligence, not republishing every robotics mention.

CONFIDENCE AND UPDATES

Korthos is updated as new information becomes available.

Some records may change when companies release new details, products are renamed, deployments progress, funding is clarified, or better evidence becomes available.

Older records may remain visible if they are useful for historical context, but Korthos prioritises current, sourced, and commercially meaningful signals.

CORRECTIONS AND SUBMISSIONS
