The submission conflates two different entities: 'Bucket.co' (a B2B feature-flagging SaaS backed by Creandum) and 'The Bucket Company' (a hydroponics supplier). While the URL points to the VC-backed SaaS (raised ~$5.7M), the description and metadata reference hydroponics and absurd audience claims ('everyone'). The score reflects the verifiable potential of the SaaS product ($5.7M funding, legitimate utility) severely penalized for a low-quality, incoherent submission and niche B2B scale compared to the calibration baseline.
