Gaining Momentum

Singularity Energy is a verifiable B2B climate-tech company with significant institutional backing (NSF SBIR, Harvard, Greentown Labs). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing false claims ('most people have used my product') and missing metrics. While the underlying technology (grid carbon intensity APIs) has high utility and market relevance, the project is penalized heavily for unverifiable traction and wildly exaggerated reach claims in this specific entry. The score reflects the legitimacy of the entity dampened by the poor reliability of the submission data.
