Gaining Momentum

Kensho Sake is a legitimate, verified artisanal business based in the Ebro Delta (Spain) since 2015, producing the first Mediterranean sake. However, the project submission contains significant inaccuracies and exaggerations: 'Team Size 125' is likely <10, 'Audience Reach everyone' is incorrect for a niche product, and 'marketcap' is misused. While the product has real-world validity and some verified traction (awards, press, sales channels), the scale is micro/niche (<50k users), and the submission quality is very poor.
