Gaining Momentum

SkyCentrics addresses a highly relevant problem with IoT for smart buildings and energy efficiency. However, the submission provides exceptionally poor and exaggerated data, such as claiming 'everyone' as the target audience and 'most people have used my product' for traction, which is highly improbable for a B2B solution. As a result, despite the solid market relevance, the score is heavily penalized for unverifiable claims and low response quality.
