Optimal (optimal.ag) appears to be a legitimate seed-stage deep tech company backed by investors like Act One Ventures (confirmed via external search, though the submission inaccurately claimed Founders Fund and a 1989 launch). The project addresses a high-utility problem (food security/climate) with autonomous greenhouse technology. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and inconsistencies (Project Name 'SwiftForge'). The score reflects the high potential of the verifiable company, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence and the deceptive nature of the user's direct input.
