The submission appears to be a data conflation between two different entities: 'Cala' the robotic pasta startup (eatcala.com) and 'Cala Group' the UK real estate developer (founded 1875, large team). While the description and URL describe an innovative food-tech robotics project, the metadata (Team Size: 1,297, Launch: 1875, Business Type: Real Estate) refers to the construction company. This severe data integrity issue makes verifying traction impossible and results in a low score despite the potential of the robotics concept.
