While the user submission was extremely poor (containing false claims of 'everyone' reach), independent verification confirms significant market traction, a strong technical team (ex-Apple/Microsoft), and major institutional backing. The project solves a high-value problem in the insurance industry with verifiable success, though the specific submission quality was penalized heavily.
