The project 'Catalyco' (submitted as 'ThunderWing') is a legitimate Latvian deep-tech startup focused on sustainable Zinc Oxide production from industrial waste, backed by InnoEnergy and verified by search results. While the real-world utility and technical innovation are high (proprietary method, circular economy), the submission quality is critically low, containing a likely erroneous name ('ThunderWing'), inaccurate audience claims ('everyone'), and hyperbolic traction statements ('most people have used my product') that contradict independent data showing the company is in the pilot/seed stage (Targeting 2,000 tons/year by 2025). The score reflects high technical potential weighed down by pre-scale commercial status and poor submission accuracy.
