Why it moved the index

The completed billion-dollar financing materially increased resources for frontier systems intended to perceive, reason about, and act in physical environments. Magnitude is substantial because capital and strategic backing can accelerate a consequential autonomy pathway; confidence is capped at 60 because the resulting increase in competitive pressure and risk is inferred rather than directly measured.
