Let's not derail from the main subject. Why are you favoring old and outdated ratings instead of adjusting them to reflect reality?
Read the changelog.
*Although SpondooliesTech is currently selling out of hand, they have not yet demonstrated that their business model can support this into the next generation. On the announcement of next gen preorders, this rating will return to 'Yes'. On the announcement of next gen in hand / batch sales, this rating will increase to 'Batch' or 'No'.
Why is SP-Tech the only company that is being rated by their business model supporting or not their next gen? Why treat SP-Tech differently and why not reflect the present?
They are not. BFL is in EXACTLY the same position and is being treated EXACTLY the same. Both have relied on a preorder model to sustain their business, both are claiming that they will do it differently in the next generation, both are yet to prove that so have an interim score with clear conditions for progression laid out.
