You're In Business

Smart Roof Construction Inc. presents a high-utility hardware/software solution (IoT + ML) for a genuine problem in cold climates (ice dams/snow loads). The project is backed by a legitimate website and physical presence in Canada. However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and vague data ('marketcap: 500000', 'everyone'). While the technology and market timing are strong, the lack of verifiable traction and the poor quality of the application significantly suppress the score into the 'Minimal Traction' range.
