Category Standard

Optera (formerly Point380) is a verified, high-impact B2B carbon management platform established in 2006 with significant traction (Series A funding, $180B+ supply chain spend tracked, clients like Dell and HPE). However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and placeholder data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified market traction of the actual company, heavily penalized in the Response Quality and Audience Reach metrics due to the inaccuracy of the submission text.
