Certified Problem Solver

Kontakt.io is a verifiable, established market leader in BLE IoT and indoor location services with significant scale (150+ employees, operating since 2013). While the project itself possesses high real-world utility and verified traction in the B2B healthcare/enterprise sector, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing data. The score reflects the company's actual robust market position, heavily penalized for the low-effort submission.
