Gaining Momentum

EGM (egm.io) is a verified French engineering SME specializing in IoT, FIWARE, and Smart City solutions with approximately €1.2M in annual revenue and ~15-20 employees (contrary to the submission's claim of 350). While the underlying company demonstrates verifiable utility and technical expertise (participating in EU research projects), the submission quality is critically low. It contains inaccurate financial data ('50000 marketcap'), exaggerated reach claims ('everyone'), and likely hallucinatory text ('AncientClaw'). The score reflects the legitimacy of the business entity, heavily penalized by the poor quality and inaccuracy of the submission data.
