The project 'Celsia' (celsia.io) is a verified, high-utility sustainability software company acquired by ISS-Corporate in 2024. However, the submission data is heavily flawed, conflating the software startup with Celsia S.A. (a Colombian energy utility founded in 1919 with thousands of employees). While the actual software project has significant merit, verified traction (300+ clients), and excellent market timing (CSRD compliance), the submission's inaccuracies ('everyone' reach, 1919 launch, 'most people' traction) necessitate a lower quality factor and a high uncertainty penalty. The score reflects the legitimate value of the software entity while penalizing the poor quality of the submission evidence.
