Category Standard

The project corresponds to 'Kelvin Inc.' (kelvin.ai), a verifiable Series B industrial intelligence company with over $80M in funding and significant traction in the energy sector. However, the submission itself contains major inaccuracies (claiming 'HVAC solutions'—likely confusing it with Kelvin/Radiator Labs—and asserting 'everyone' has used the product). High scores reflect the verifiable reality of the company's technology and market position, while Quality Factors were penalized significantly due to the submitter's hallucinations and poor data quality.
