Digital Storm DIH is a verifiable Digital Innovation Hub in Bosnia & Herzegovina, co-financed by the EU (#EU4DigitalSME) and GIZ. While the project addresses a genuine need for SME digitalization (Real-World Utility), the submission contains significant inaccuracies and low-quality data (e.g., claiming 'most people' have used the product and an audience of 'everyone'). The financial figure '2500000' likely refers to the project grant budget rather than market cap or revenue. The project scores in the 'Minimal Traction' band due to its regional nature, early stage (2023 launch), and lack of verifiable user evidence in the submission.
