Category Standard

KeySquare Labs is a verified entity that was acquired by Ditto (in July 2025), confirming the high value of its 'Propagate' edge networking technology for tactical and industrial IoT environments. Although the project submission itself was of extremely low quality—containing false audience claims ('everyone') and inaccurate revenue data—the external verification of the company's technology and successful exit drives the score high. The evaluation balances the proven real-world utility and traction (Acquisition) against the poor response quality.
