Cool Roof France is a legitimate, high-impact company (French Tech 2030 laureate) with verified technology (oyster-shell based coating) and historical traction (1 million m² treated). However, the submission is critically flawed and the business is in distress. External verification reveals the company entered receivership (redressement judiciaire) in Jan 2026 following a revenue collapse (€2.5M vs projected €15M). The submission significantly inflates team size (claims 350; reality ~30) and provides low-quality responses for traction ('most people'). The score reflects high technical utility weighed down by severe financial instability and unreliable submission data.
