Industry Mainstay

The project submitted as 'LunarWing' is identified as Diamond Fortress Technologies (DFT), a real biometric software company founded in 2012. DFT was successfully acquired by Telos Corporation (NASDAQ: TLS) in August 2021 for approximately $6.7M, validating the utility of its ONYX touchless fingerprinting technology. However, the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' have used it), incorrect naming, and poor quality responses. The score reflects the verified high utility and successful exit of the actual technology, heavily penalized by the low quality and reliability of the submission data.
