Carbon Reform is a legitimate, venture-backed climate tech startup (raising ~$9M, including from Cisco Foundation) developing modular carbon capture for commercial buildings. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. External verification confirms high real-world utility, innovative hardware, and active pilots with utilities (e.g., NJ Natural Gas), which rescues the score from the zero-range implied by the lazy submission. The score reflects a high-value B2B solution penalized significantly for the lack of provided evidence and accurate reach data.
