Why it moved the index

The completed company launch and financing expanded the frontier race into spatial systems designed to connect perception, reasoning, and action. Magnitude is moderate because this adds competitive capacity in a consequential autonomy pathway; confidence is capped at 60 because faster or riskier deployment is a reasonable but not directly measured inference.
