Gaining Momentum

The project represents a legitimate MedTech initiative ('SPARK' / 'Rose Industries') originating from UWE Bristol, with verified participation in the Cybathlon 2024 competition. The core technology (bio-inspired prosthetics) holds high real-world utility and innovation value. However, the submission itself suffers from significant credibility issues, including hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), incorrect financial terminology ('all time marketcap: 2500000'), and unrealistic audience targeting ('everyone'). The score reflects the high potential of the underlying technology and academic backing, heavily penalized for lack of commercial traction and poor submission quality.
