Skyryse is a highly significant aviation technology company (Series B, ~$250M+ funding) developing FlightOS to simplify aircraft operation. While the project itself possesses exceptional technical innovation, market potential, and verifiable corporate traction, the specific submission data contained notable inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and the name mismatch 'SwiftKeeper'). The score reflects the verified high value of the company, adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission data.
