MAX · software and physical proof
A complete simulation is still a simulation.
Where the proof stops
MAX has a serious software foundation: pairing, a gateway, offline behaviour and remote FIND and STOP flows. Those capabilities matter. They do not put a Raspberry Pi next to the actual walker or show that a person can use its controls in their environment.
The physical path still needs the actual device, microphone, speaker, lights, network conditions and a real human interaction. A simulation, browser run or mocked response cannot replace that observation.
What remains unproven
The supplied factory report leaves real-walker FIND and the wider physical hardware path open. The public status keeps that limit visible instead of translating strong software maturity into a claim about a physical product.
