Gaining Momentum

Amafu Technologies is a verifiable South African broadcast technology company (est. 2018) with a confirmed digital footprint (FAME Week Africa, partnerships with VoiceQ/HiScale). While the project has legitimate real-world utility in the African B2B media sector, the submission quality is critically low. Claims of 'everyone' reach are inaccurate for a B2B niche, and 'marketcap: 500000' indicates confused financial reporting. The score reflects a functioning SME with verified traction, heavily penalized for poor data accuracy and vague innovation claims.
