Category Standard

Bluedot (bluedot.io) is a high-value Series B location technology company powering major enterprises like McDonald's and Dunkin', offering significant real-world utility in the contactless economy. However, the submission itself contained critical errors, conflating the location company with a separate infectious disease company (Bluedot.global) and providing vague data ('everyone', 'most people'). Despite the poor submission quality, the verifiable underlying business traction justifies a high score.
