What the current evidence supports

Track; not yet
- Why
- Genuine, in-production tactile-manipulation milestone at real scale (500K+ orders) — but it is captive to Amazon, partial-coverage, and unavailable to adopt; valuable as a maturity signal, not a procurement option
- Next
- Treat Vulcan as a leading indicator of force-sensing pick/stow viability; watch for the 75% coverage figure to rise and for any teardown/spec of the 6-axis force-torque tooling that 3rd-party vendors could replicate
