Evidence-graded claims from the Skydio deep report
Skydio DFR drones launch in under 20 seconds, arrive at incidents in under 90 seconds, arrive first 71% of the time, and resolve ~25% of calls without a patrol unit
These specific performance metrics appear only in Skydio's own Series F announcement [14] and official DFR page [3]; no independent third-party test, regulator report, or customer audit corroborating these figures is present in the dossier.
from Skydio deep report →Skydio's DFR program reduced auto theft by 42% in San Francisco
This statistic is sourced exclusively from Skydio's Series F announcement [14] with no independent police department report, city government data, or third-party analysis found in the dossier to verify the causal attribution.
from Skydio deep report →Skydio has shipped 60,000 autonomous drones, accumulated 4.5M+ customer flights, and serves 3,800+ enterprise customers including all U.S. DoD branches and 29 allied nations
All deployment figures originate from Skydio's own Series F announcement and homepage [14][1]; the $50M U.S. Army contract for 3,000 drones [14] lends partial credibility to military claims, but no independent audit, government procurement record, or third-party verification of the aggregate figures is present in the dossier.
from Skydio deep report →Skydio's autonomous 3D scanning operates without prior maps, a magnetometer, or internet connectivity
This capability is documented in Skydio's official support documentation [9] and corroborated by an independent Scanifly hardware review [7] for the Skydio 2, but the Scanifly review focuses on hardware specs rather than independently testing the no-map/no-internet scanning claim end-to-end.
