SenSiC is a verified deep-tech spin-off from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and Linköping University, specializing in advanced Silicon Carbide (SiC) sensors for synchrotrons and harsh environments. While the technology is highly innovative and scientifically valuable, the project submission was of extremely poor quality, containing typos ('SenSiCis'), false audience claims ('everyone', 'most people'), and nonsensical metrics ('marketcap: null'). External search confirmed valid B2B traction (Venture Kick funding, delivery to PSI), which saved the score from being lower. The low score reflects the disconnect between the high-value technology and the unprofessional submission, alongside the naturally niche nature of the product.
