iCustoms is a legitimate, VC-backed (approx. $2.2M Seed) B2B trade compliance platform leveraging AI to solve post-Brexit customs complexity. While the project demonstrates high real-world utility and verified traction (HMRC recognition, 50+ employees), the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and spam-like metadata ('ShadowSpirit'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals discovered via external verification, heavily penalized for the poor submission quality.
