Bizumi (Cero3) is a verifiable B2B sustainable travel project with a functioning website and a clear value proposition regarding Scope 3 emissions. However, the project submission contains significant inaccuracies and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') that severely undermine its credibility. While the market timing for sustainability tools is excellent, the project appears to be in an early pilot phase (referencing Jan 2025 pilots) rather than having the mass traction claimed. The discrepancy between the submission's claims and the likely reality of a pre-scale B2B tool results in a heavily penalized score.
