You're In Business

Simantex targets a valid problem space (fraud in gaming and eSports) but provides a highly exaggerated and unsubstantiated submission. Claims of reaching 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product' contradict a complete lack of active user data or clear technology descriptions. With a Qi of 0.5 applied across all categories due to vague metrics and suspicious claims, the project scores poorly despite relevant market timing.

Description
Simantex is building the Athena Platform. Athena will improve the performance and integrity of sports and gaming, in both the emerging world of eSports, the established venue of professional sport leagues, and casino gaming. About Helios: Not all AI systems are the same or equal. Helios works more like the human brain. Through the use of benchmark AI techniques, integrated with our proprietary simulation approach, Helios breathes life into your data: Through continual simulation, Helios uses its experience and assessments to improve its performance, like the human brain does. Helios thrives in an emerging business environment where not all variables, rules, and scenarios have been developed or are well understood. Helios integrates various basic AI approaches (e.g., deep-learning, machine learning, other classification / regression theories) into the software platform, along with its own unique approach, to help you solve complex problems and uncover opportunities. Unlike conventional “Black Box” AI systems that provide an answer and expect you to trust it; Helios is ideal for an environment where a forensic reconstruction of an answer is needed (e.g., legal due-process rights). Helios also enables better strategic planning because it is more effective to plan once you understand the past and can simulate the future. Our Current Focus: AI is the next disruptive but enabling technology to promise a huge impact on gaming. Simantex is applying it to combat fraud and improve the gaming experience within diverse legalized forms of gaming, both emerging and legacy. Simantex Leadership: Simantex’ leaders are experts in diverse public gaming, artificial intelligence applications, e-commerce, war gaming and military simulation. Gaming industries include lottery, casino, horse racing, sports betting, and eSports.
