Robot types
Every shape a robot ships in, scored on the incidents attributed to it. Robot-type index 0-100: weighted incident score per tracked company that ships this type (with two pseudo-companies of prior, so thin types are not over-ranked), log-scaled against the riskiest ranked type. Ranked types need 3+ tracked vendors. Incident categories such as crash or recall are on the analytics page; companies are grouped by industry.
