Category Standard

Carbyne is a high-impact, established technology company modernizing emergency response infrastructure (NG911). While the project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and significant market traction (partnerships with governments and Google), the submission itself suffered from low-quality responses (e.g., claiming audience reach is 'everyone' and traction evidence as 'most people'). The score reflects the company's verifiable scale and technical innovation, penalized significantly for the lack of specific evidence provided in the input fields.
