Funding News Is Not Product Readiness
Money raised says nothing about whether a product is mature or reliable.
Separate the two questions
Funding reflects an investor view; product capability reflects engineering execution. Well-funded companies can still struggle with volume production consistency.
What to examine instead
Delivered customers and volumes, production status, failure and service data, certification, and whether a reference site can be visited.
Recommendation
Treat funding news as background and evaluate on product, delivery and service.
