Gaining Momentum

The submission for 'WhisperStorm' (Cyrano.ai) suffers from significant quality issues, including hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial data ('marketcap 500000'). However, external verification confirms Cyrano.ai is a legitimate company founded in 2016 with approximately 30 employees, patented 'neuro-linguistic' AI technology, and partnerships (e.g., Technossus). While the user base is in the tens of thousands (respectable for B2B but far from the claimed global saturation), the project demonstrates real-world utility in sales and mental health. The low submission quality significantly impacts the score, but the underlying business traction prevents it from falling into the 'minimal traction' category.
