Gaining Momentum

The project corresponds to the 'Emerging Technology Council', a legitimate community of Fortune 1000 technologists established circa 2012-2018 (associated with Propelics/Lopez Research). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing spam-like placeholder data (Project Name 'ThunderSpirit', false traction claim 'most people have used my product', nonsense revenue 'marketcap: 500000'). While the underlying organization has high real-world utility and verified historical existence, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible, specific evidence in the submission and the unprofessional presentation.
