Gaining Momentum

The submission presents a significant discrepancy between the verified entity and the submitted data. The URL 'norebase.com' points to a legitimate, Y Combinator-backed (W22) startup providing digital infrastructure for African businesses, which has high real-world utility and verified traction. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'construction' technology) and minimal effort. The score is calibrated to the 'Small but promising' range (100–250), acknowledging the company's actual value while heavily penalizing the inaccurate and unverifiable claims in the submission.
