Fit score — how 80/100 is built
Scoring rationale: Signal strength 20/25: equity stake plus a production technology launch, smaller in dollars than a plant. North America 24/25: engineering and product development physically in Southfield — inside the 11-county Detroit Region. Scale 15/25: investment size undisclosed in the source, scored conservatively. Recency 21/25: October 2025. Comau is a GEM-natural: an automation supplier already growing in-region that DRP can help scale.
