## Executive read

### BLUF

May is a thin month. Roomba 700 is a live irobot.com SKU this month: the 27 April company call already placed a limited website launch in motion, and no official page withdraws it. That is inventory, not a recall. iRobot’s 11 May Ava / Android developer note is a platform demo, not a consumer-home SKU. No official consumer-robot safety action was located.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX weekly reports, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated May 2011.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No official 2011 Roomba CPSC, Health Canada, or RAPEX recall exists to file. Roomba 700 being live on the company site is not a safety primary.
3. **[Assessment — High confidence]** The 11 May Ava / Google I/O Android-apps note names a mobile robotics platform for developers. It is not a dated consumer-home companion SKU.

### Analytic labels
- **Fact** — verified reporting or primary record
- **Assessment** — analytic judgment
- **Inference** — reasoned but not directly observed
- **Uncertainty** — unresolved information gap

### Source grades
- **A1** — authoritative primary record / directly confirmed
- **B1–B2** — generally reliable and corroborated
- **C3** — useful but requires caution (typical for forums)

## No numbered signals

This month produced **zero** in-window spine-grade signals. Roomba 700 as a website SKU is recorded in judgments, not numbered. Ava remains a demonstrator and is not numbered.

**Forum / community notes.**
- none found.

## Forward indicators

1. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower or robot-vac action.
2. Any official IEC / EN particular-requirements publication for robotic battery mowers (prior drafts exist; no 2011 catalog date located).
3. Any educational-kit or companion battery / fire / laceration file.
4. Any official iRobot Roomba recall.
5. First dated consumer-home companion SKU or safety action (a CES demonstrator is not a home SKU).

> **Collection integrity.** Window = May 2011 only. **Verified, not numbered:** Roomba 700 limited irobot.com SKU (carry from 27 April company statement; no contradictory official page this month). **Excluded:** iRobot 11 May Ava / Android applications note ([media.irobot.com](https://media.irobot.com/press-releases?item=122460)) — developer platform, no price, not a home SKU. A tertiary “11 May street date” blog is not used as an official launch Fact. No CPSC Roomba page. No Honda / Husqvarna / Robomow / Viking RAPEX or national robotic-mower alert. No educational-kit battery action. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
