Unicorn Utility

Arbol is a high-impact, Series B Insurtech company addressing climate risk with verified traction ($1B+ notional risk, $170M+ GWP). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional utility and market relevance, the submission provided low-quality, generic data (e.g., claiming reach is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people'). The score reflects the verified high value of the company, adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission inputs.
