Category Standard

Climate X is a legitimate, high-potential Series A company backed by Google Ventures ($18M recent funding) with strong technical innovation in climate risk analytics (Spectra). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false claims about reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'). The score reflects the project's high verified utility and market relevance, heavily penalized by the low quality and inaccuracy of the submission data.
