## Executive read

### BLUF

March 2017 is a thin month. iRobot’s Alexa skill on Roomba 900-series is a voice-path product update, not a maps-as-commodity or safety primary. No official consumer-robot recall or named injury was located.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No CPSC, Health Canada, or RAPEX consumer-robot recall or numbered alert dated March 2017 was found.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Roomba 690 / Braava jet / Alexa-on-900 copy is product news. It is not filed. The maps-as-commodity frame is July.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Alexa compatibility is a later ingredient of the July Reuters file, not a March trust action.

### 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. Alexa-on-Roomba-900 (announced for Q2; contemporaneous product pages) is **not** a safety or trust primary and is not numbered. July’s Reuters maps file is out of window.

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

---

## Forward indicators

1. Any official consumer-robot recall in Q2 2017.
2. Honda Miimo US availability — product launch only unless a sensor or injury primary appears.
3. Dated Jibo fulfillment.
4. Kuri still on a holiday-2017 ship target.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = March 2017 only. **Killed as Fact:** Roomba 690 / Braava jet / Alexa skill as a March signal (product, not safety/trust primary); any March Roomba CPSC recall (none located); named mower fatality (none); Pertisau / Vector / Jibo funeral / Anki shutdown (later years). Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
