Enough evidence for human review, not an instant guarantee.
Pre-launch robot mower yard-fit method
Yard Method is a pre-launch validation project. No products, assessments, surveys, installations, bookings, payments or customer-data intake are currently available. There is no active dealer authorization, affiliate program, inventory or service territory.
The proposed method compares a mower configuration with acreage, slopes, trees, passages, grass, power and hazards. Every reviewed outcome can include uncertainty, a physical assessment or no-fit.

Interactive prototype
These fixtures use demonstration data only. Choose a yard state to see the disposition, evidence, limitations and allowed next action.
Demonstration review
0.68 acre, two zones, measured slopes, open-sky dock area
No personal data is entered, transmitted or saved in this prototype.
An honest result set
Enough evidence for human review, not an instant guarantee.
A physical measurement or signal check decides fit.
A known constraint makes no sale the responsible outcome.
Local support is unavailable; seller roles stay explicit.
The evidence chain
Earth can estimate mowable polygons and reveal likely zones, canopy, gates, water and crossings. Its area and elevation data are screening evidence, not mower-scale certification.
Read Google's measurement limitsSeparate zones and exclude house, pavement, beds and water.
Photos, guided slope readings, passages, grass, power and hazards.
Unknowns route to review or survey. Known unsafe conditions decline.
Every result names evidence, assumptions, seller and next verification.
Where fit breaks
Proposed pilot scope
The $499 validation offer is not live. When its operating gates pass, standard scope covers station placement, mapping, safety exclusions, firmware, app setup, test mowing, dock returns, owner training and seven-day follow-up.
Electrical work, trenching, landscaping, drainage, tree work and unsafe conditions remain excluded unless separately handled by a qualified provider.
Commercial independence
Fit ranking excludes dealer margin, affiliate commission, inventory age and manufacturer incentives. Commercial factors can break a tie only after two options are equally suitable, and the relationship is disclosed beside the action.
Affiliate links require active program approval and tested seller, support, disclosure and tracking states. None are active here.
