The project 'LOMBY' corresponds to a legitimate Japanese startup (LOMBY Inc.) developing autonomous last-mile delivery robots, verified by partnerships with Suzuki Motors and pilot programs with 7-Eleven Japan. However, the submission itself is extremely poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and lacking technical detail. Despite the low-quality submission, the underlying project demonstrates significant real-world utility, strong market timing (addressing Japan's labor shortage), and verifiable traction via government grants (NEDO) and corporate pilots. The score reflects the high potential of the actual business, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and lazy submission.
