Contempo Lab is a verified New Zealand-based technology consultancy with legitimate R&D work in IoT, physiological monitoring, and forestry AI (partnering with Scion Research). However, the project submission is critically flawed, featuring hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') that contradict the niche B2B reality. While the technical work in agritech and sports science is innovative and useful, the exaggerated audience reach and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 500000') severely impact the score. The evaluation recognizes the real-world utility of their forestry AI but penalizes the lack of credible evidence for mass-market adoption.
