Gaining Momentum

The project represents an established B2B entity (SAW S.r.l., est. 2006) focusing on industrial IoT and safety. However, the submission is critically flawed with hyperbolic claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people'), inconsistent metrics (350 team vs. 500k marketcap), and poor detail. While the underlying problem (workplace safety) is valid, the lack of verifiable evidence and low-quality response significantly penalizes the score, placing it in the 'Small/Niche' or 'Minimal Traction' range relative to the calibration.
