You're In Business

Riad Sakkan appears to be a legitimate, high-quality physical hospitality business (luxury hotel in Marrakech) rather than a technology project. While it has real-world utility as a hotel and likely generates revenue (indicated by a team of 30), it scores low on this specific evaluation framework because it lacks technical innovation, digital scalability, and the submission contains exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The 'marketcap' figure is ambiguous, and the audience reach is constrained by physical capacity.
