Close call. A2 and B1 trade wins across the matrix.
Readiness, uptime, navigation & connectivity
Price accessibility and ROI clarity
Payload, speed, runtime & labor replacement
Environment fit, footprint & long-term upside
200+ seat restaurant chain evening rush service during peak hours (2–4 units per location, ROI ~24 months)
Perimeter security patrols at industrial plants, utility substations, and campuses—replacing overnight guard rounds
