O-lab is a verifiable EdTech/HRTech platform (o-lab.app) developed by Fundación El Origen (Colombia), focusing on offline-accessible, AI-powered learning for vulnerable communities and corporate training. The project has verifiable traction, including recognition from MIT Solve, Endeavor, and HundrED, and an estimated user base of ~5,000-10,000 (falling within the <50k 'Minimal Traction' calibration bracket). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'most people have used my product' and audience is 'everyone') and joke data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying technology and mission are high-utility, the score is severely penalized by the misleading claims and the early-stage scale relative to the claimed reach.
