Industry Mainstay

FuseForward is a verifiable B2B technology company based in Vancouver, offering the 'Fuse360' data fusion and digital twin platform. External search confirms significant maturity with ~35 employees, estimated $3.7M revenue, and major partnerships (AWS, Ryerson University). However, the project submission contains demonstrably false claims (Reach: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product'), which contradict the specialized industrial nature of the product. The final score acknowledges the strong real-world utility and verified business traction but includes heavy penalties for the inaccurate and low-effort submission data.
