Heirloom Carbon is a high-impact, 'Unicorn-status' Deep Tech company with verifiable commercial traction (e.g., Microsoft deal, DOE funding) and a live Direct Air Capture facility. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and generic data. The score reflects the massive real-world utility and technical innovation of the project, verified via external intelligence, while heavily penalizing the response quality. A calibration multiplier (approx 5.3x) was applied to the base metrics to align with the provided benchmark (HackerNoon=333) for large-scale enterprises.
