Gaining Momentum

Ecmaster targets the highly relevant and utility-driven clean energy and smart infrastructure sectors, specifically focusing on VPPs and energy management. However, the project submission suffers from vague, nonsensical, and exaggerated claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone', traction claim that 'most people have used my product', and confusing revenue metrics like 'all time marketcap: 500000'). Due to the lack of verifiable data and poor response quality, the score reflects minimal proven traction despite a promising market segment.
