POLAR STAR SPACE

Polar Star Space is a verified Japanese aerospace startup (Hokkaido University spinoff) specializing in microsatellite and drone-based remote sensing, particularly for agricultural disease detection (e.g., in oil palm plantations). While the project demonstrates high real-world utility, technical innovation (LCTF cameras), and verifiable traction (J-Startup certification, ~$1.3M funding, partnerships with major corporations like Kao), the submission itself was of extremely poor quality. The submitter provided false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), which significantly penalized the Response Quality and Audience Reach scores.
