Certified Problem Solver

Flow Labs is a verified B2G artificial intelligence company specializing in traffic management optimization. External search confirms significant traction, including contracts with the Florida Department of Transportation (supporting 2,000 intersections), Seattle DOT, and Utah DOT, as well as ~$2M in seed funding/deals. The project leverages 'Digital Twin' technology to optimize traffic signals without expensive hardware upgrades, demonstrating high real-world utility and technical innovation. However, the submission itself was of very low quality (e.g., placeholder claims like 'everyone' and 'FrostRider'), which severely impacted the Response Quality score. The final score reflects the high value and verified traction of the underlying entity, balanced against the poor submission data.
