Gaining Momentum

Adetex.ID presents a legitimate and technically innovative solution (RFiD Threads®) for the textile industry, addressing critical needs in supply chain transparency and circular fashion (Digital Product Passports). However, the submission quality is critically low. The claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are hyperbolic and unverifiable, contradicting the B2B nature of the technology. The stated market cap ($2.5M) is low for a company established in 2016 with 30 employees, suggesting limited commercial scaling. The score reflects high technical utility and market relevance, heavily penalized for poor evidence and questionable traction claims.
