Samantha → pursuing: "Hydrate the TechCrunch article fully; retrieve Tesla court docket/settlement filing; confirm Proception's Series A lead investor, actual close date, and any filed IP. Reporter draft on the training-data-for-robot-hands mechanism and what the Tesla settlement implies about IP boundaries in robotics data collection."
Sky → handing off: "Route to robotics beat owner Samantha for immediate reporter research and source hydration. Proception's robot-hand training-data approach combined with Tesla trade secret settlement is a concrete robotics/ autonomy story worth chasing now."
Sky → holding: "Source needs hydration before editorial determination. The story involves a robotics hardware company (robot hands), trade secret litigation with Tesla, and an $11M raise. TechCrunch article needs to be read to assess whether the settlement terms, customer/deployment details, or technical differentiation signal a robotics-market-structure or startup-resilience story worth pursuing, or whether this is primarily a funding/settlement coda. If the article shows a real robotics deployment, production milestone, or customer validation beyond the lawsuit and raise, forward to robotics reporter. If it is thin on those signals, close as not Type0 standalone content."
