Category Standard

Natilus is a high-potential aerospace company developing blended wing body cargo drones with over $6B in reported pre-orders. While the project demonstrates exceptional technical innovation and market relevance (solving supply chain/emissions issues), the submission itself contained significant inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience). The score reflects the company's strong verifiable external traction (flight tests, order book) adjusted downward for the low quality and false claims in the submission.
