Manufacturer intelligence directory
111 makers, with visible evidence depth.
RCI separates exact-model audited manufacturers from source-screened companies queued for model-level review. A listing is never an endorsement, ranking or claim that RCI tested the hardware.
Coverage grew from 26 to 111 without hiding review state.
The four source-screening batches add 19 + 19 + 18 + 18 profiles; four later additions entered through exact Robot/BOM evidence. The first 15 source-screened profiles now expose official research routes, selection signals, procurement questions and evidence boundaries. Only pages with exact-model claim records use the “audited record” label.
