ION-X is a legitimate, high-potential aerospace company spinning out of CNRS (France) with significant backing (€13M Series A, Dec 2024) and contracts with agencies like CNES. Their ElectroHydroDynamic (EHD) propulsion technology represents a genuine technical innovation for the small satellite market. However, the submission form itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and invalid contact details. The high score reflects the verifiable real-world utility and verified external traction of the company, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission data.
