Figure 03 is the current-generation Figure humanoid, positioned by Figure for both home and commercial-integration use cases; the verified deployment record is currently single-operator at Catalyst Brands' Reno distribution facility, with no shipped home units on record. The BMW Spartanburg pilot, frequently cited as Figure's enterprise proof point, was Figure 02. That deployment concluded in November 2025 and does not transfer to Figure 03's verification record. Figure describes the platform as fully autonomous in the demonstrated tasks, a framing that DEPLOY tracks as a claim rather than an audit until third-party reproduction lands.

- Re-verify 2026-06-04: NEW verified commercial customer: Catalyst Brands (Reno NV distribution center, Joey Pouch sorting; partner-confirmed via the JCPenney/Catalyst newsroom, May 26 2026) - Figure's first partner-confirmed paid commercial logistics deployment (quantities not partner-disclosed). CORRECTION to the BMW framing: per BMW's OWN disclosure, the Spartanburg engagement was a COMPLETED PILOT using Figure 02 in 2025 (~30,000 X3 vehicles over ~1,250 hours / ~10 months); Figure 03 at BMW is only 'under evaluation,' and BMW chose Hexagon's AEON (not Figure) for its first German/Leipzig pilot. REJECT as aggregator drift (contradicted by BMW's primary source): 'Figure 03 commercial at BMW at scale', '40-unit fleet', '$25 per robot-hour', '400% efficiency gain'. Series C $39B post-money (Sept 2025); BotQ manufacturing ramping. maturityStage stays pilot (Catalyst is the genuine commercial step, platform overall still pilot).
