## Executive read

### BLUF

March is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no new maps-or-lidar primary that changes a trust path was located in the window. Navibot remains a February camera-map unveil; Neato and Mint remain pre-ship.

### 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 March 2010.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** iRobot’s 23 March 20th-anniversary release is a catalog/history note (five million home robots already stated in January). It does not change a safety or trust path and is not numbered.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Roomba 500-class and Scooba units are already in homes this month; official silence is not a finding that none were running.

### 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. Singularity Hub’s 13 March Navibot write-up restates the February Visionary Mapping SKU and is not re-numbered. iRobot’s 23 March anniversary copy is product-history filler. April is not previewed as Fact.

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

---

## Forward indicators

1. Dated Navibot EU street (still a March–April claim at last February cutoff).
2. Neato XV-11 first consumer ship.
3. Mint first dated direct-channel ship (promised Q3).
4. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower or robot-vac or kit-battery action.
5. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff).

> **Collection integrity.** Window = March 2010 only. **Excluded:** iRobot 23 March 20th-anniversary release ([media](https://media.irobot.com/press-releases?item=122485)) — catalog; Singularity Hub 13 March Navibot — February SKU. No March CPSC, Health Canada, or RAPEX numbered consumer-robot page. No CPSC Roomba page. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
