You're In Business

KoolZone is a legitimate B2B IoT company offering valuable environmental monitoring solutions, confirmed by external search to have been established for several years (likely since 2001 or 2015). However, the project submission contains significant inaccuracies and unprofessional data: claiming 'everyone' as the audience and stating 'most people have used my product' are demonstrably false for a niche industrial solution. While the real-world utility of the technology is high, the discrepancy between the submission's exaggerated claims and the verifiable niche scale (approx. 990 monitored environments) results in substantial penalties to the Traction and Reach scores. The input 'marketcap: 2500000' is ambiguous but suggests a small-cap valuation or cumulative revenue, placing it in the 'Minimal Traction' calibration bracket.
