Gaining Momentum

The project appears to be associated with the 'Young Tinker Foundation' or 'iTinker', a legitimate Indian ed-tech/social enterprise focused on STEM education for students. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing unverifiable hyperbole (claiming 'most people have used my product' and audience is 'everyone'). While the underlying mission has merit and some verifiable regional traction (awards, school partnerships), the submitted data is unreliable. The 'marketcap' figure likely represents ~₹1.7 Cr INR ($200k) or is a misunderstanding of financial terms. The score reflects a 'Small but promising' entity, heavily penalized for a lack of professional evidence.
