Certified Problem Solver

ONDEWO is a verifiable Austrian Deep Tech company (founded 2017) specializing in Call Center AI and NLU for German dialects. Independent search confirms significant traction, including a partnership with Frequentis (emergency services), use of NVIDIA DGX A100 infrastructure, and €1M+ in research grants (FFG/Take Off). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'), erroneous data ('technologies: construction'), and copy-pasted job descriptions. While the underlying technology and business are highly credible and innovative (scoring well on Utility and Innovation), the 'Response Quality' and 'Evidence of Traction' scores were heavily penalized due to the user's failure to provide accurate data, relying instead on the evaluator's external verification.
