The project 'Detectium' is a verifiable Finnish startup (Detectium Oy) specializing in AI-driven digital twins for fire detection, with confirmed funding (€260k from EIT Digital) and pilot deployments in industrial sectors. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect traction claims ('most people have used my product') and placeholder data. While the technology and real-world utility are promising (industrial safety), the score is heavily impacted by the lack of professional detail in the input and the early, niche nature of the actual traction.
