CarbonCloud is a high-utility, verified climate intelligence platform with significant B2B traction (customers like Oatly, Dole) and confirmed Series A funding (~€7.5M). Despite a low-quality submission (suspicious email, false claims of 'everyone' using it), the underlying project is scientifically rigorous, established, and impactful in the food industry. The score reflects the project's actual strong market position, adjusted for the poor submission quality.
