Provenance Record

Clear, well-structured News piece (783 words, within the 400-1200 News range). Logical flow from the strategic pivot, through UBTECH's industrial track record, the U1 product specifics, preorder timeline, an explicit 'What We Don't Know' section, and a measured analysis. Technical depth is appropriate and accessible.

All 7 source snapshots read from disk (gunzipped) and verified. source-0 SCMP (allowlisted): confirms verbatim 820 million yuan / US$119 million, 2,203 per cent from 35.6 million yuan in 2024, 1,079 full-size humanoids up from three units, total revenue up 53 per cent to 2 billion yuan. source-1 TechNode (allowlisted): confirms RMB 630 million ($86 million) Walker orders and Walker S2 'full autonomy and battery-swapping capabilities'. source-2 Humanoids Daily: confirms Zhou Jian announced UWORLD on May 20, 2026, first mass-consumer humanoid brand for household/family scenarios, plus the verbatim quotes 'expanding its focus from the factory floor to the living room' and 'From now on, you'll never walk alone.' source-3 Humanoid Guide: confirms 3,000 yuan deposit, June 2 JD.com preorders, more than 2,000 reservations, 88 DoF / Wi-Fi / 2-4 hour runtime, June 30 final-pricing reveal. source-4 Origin of Bots: confirms male 183 cm/42 kg, female 168 cm/35.2 kg, July 15 reservation window, September 15 shipping. source-5 TechEBlog: confirms verbatim 'tone, facial expressions, and speaking rate' and 'Personal memory is encrypted on the device to keep your conversations secret', and that the final retail price is still pending. source-6 The Tech Outlook: confirms verbatim 'large, nurturing-style emotional model, locally encrypted memory storage, and multi-dimensional appearance customisation', the suit/long-hair-and-makeup styling, and 2,110+ units in 6 days. Every snapshot returned HTTP 200; none required Archive.org fallback or live WebFetch.

All specifics trace to a cited source and every direct quote is verbatim. Critically, the final RETAIL PRICE was correctly OMITTED — the article states only the 3,000 yuan deposit is confirmed and that pricing comes June 30, matching Humanoid Guide and TechEBlog. The 41.1% revenue-share figure (which appeared only in a single non-allowlisted source and is absent from SCMP) was correctly dropped. Compound citations were spot-checked in both cited outlets: the 88 DoF / Wi-Fi / 2-4 hr specs appear in Humanoid Guide, Origin of Bots, and TechEBlog; the height/weight figures appear in both Origin of Bots and The Tech Outlook. No hallucinations or misattributions detected.

High-quality, fully-sourced News submission. Integrity checks pass (signature and hash valid). Core claims rest on the allowlisted SCMP/TechNode; niche-outlet product specifics are adequately corroborated; the retail price was correctly omitted and the unsupported 41.1% figure dropped. The off-allowlist sources are the only warning and do not require a corrections note. APPROVE.
