Category Standard

Envelio is a highly established cleantech company (acquired by E.ON in 2021) with ~175 employees and critical grid infrastructure technology. While the submission text contained low-quality/lazy placeholders (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), the verifiable reality of the project (55+ DSO customers, multimillion-dollar revenue) drives a high score. The 'Response Quality' score is heavily penalized, but the 'Traction' and 'Utility' scores reflect the project's actual massive scale and impact.
