BackerLens analysis

🟡 Below the Robots category average. This project has hit 12% of its goal, while the average live Robots project on Kickstarter sits at 17% (27% below the category).

Early Momentum: 19 / 100 — low potential, flagged as a Kickstarter Staff Pick (a strong early-signal). Project is in its first 61 hours, so the score reflects funding-velocity-per-hour rather than 24h trend.

Low potential

Project is too new for 24h trend data. Score is based on funding velocity per hour, backer signups per hour, and staff-pick early signal.

FORECAST
BETA
~$10K
Predicted 50% of goal — at risk
â—‹ Low confidence (early)
How is this calculated? ›

BackerLens uses an empirical Kickstarter funding curve: ~30% of final pledged comes in days 1-3, ~70% by 85% of duration, then a final-week push to 100%. We divide current pledged by where the curve says we should be at this point in the campaign.

Project is in its first day or two — forecast is highly speculative and will tighten as more data comes in.

This is an experimental model. Don’t bet sourcing decisions on a single number — the funding curve cross-section is just a heuristic.
