Fit score — how 82/100 is built
Scoring rationale: Signal strength 23/25: a $600M raise explicitly tied to expansion. North America 18/25: US-headquartered and hiring, but no announced Michigan engineering center yet — which is precisely the opening for GEM: Detroit is where its automaker customers engineer vehicles. Scale 24/25: $15B valuation, 18 of the top 20 OEMs as customers. Recency 17/25: June 2025.
