Canary Technologies is a verified market leader in hospitality AI, with a valuation of ~$600M (Series D) and adoption by 20,000+ hoteliers globally (Marriott, Wyndham, Four Seasons). While the submission text was brief and informal ('everyone', 'most people'), the project fundamentals are exceptional. The platform solves critical friction in guest workflows (mobile check-in, digital tipping) with massive verifiable traction. The score reflects a 'Much Larger Scale' entity, adjusted for the high-utility and proven market fit, despite the low-effort submission.
