Gaining Momentum

Contact CI is a verified haptic technology company producing the 'Maestro' glove, with significant partnerships including the US Air Force and an Epic MegaGrant. However, the submission provided contained demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and poor data quality. While the technology is innovative and has strong niche utility for enterprise training, the project is currently in the 'small but promising' stage rather than a mass-market success as claimed.
