Gaining Momentum

Citia is a legitimate but aging B2B content platform (founded 2012) with a history of impressive enterprise clients (GE, Viacom, Mastercard). However, the project appears stagnant or in a 'zombie' state with no significant recent funding or growth news since 2022. The submission quality is critically low, containing hyperbolic falsehoods (claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience), which severely undermines the credibility of the entry. While the underlying technology (card-based PWA) had utility, it is no longer a 'breakthrough' in the current market.
