Gaining Momentum

The COGNIMAN project addresses a highly relevant problem in smart manufacturing (Industry 4.0/5.0). However, the submission provides highly exaggerated, unsupported claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), combined with sparse technical details ('Machinery'). This results in significant penalties to the quality factor across most criteria.
