Besco Software is a verifiable entity established in 2019 in Finland, and KotiCharge is a functional EV charging product with genuine utility for housing associations (As. Oy) managing spot-price electricity. However, the submission quality is critically poor, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). While the technology addresses a timely market need (energy optimization), the hyperbolic traction claims and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap' used in revenue field) trigger heavy penalties in the evaluation algorithm, positioning the score within the 'Minimal traction' range despite the project's legitimacy.
