Category Standard

Stimio is a legitimate, verified B2B IIoT company specializing in predictive maintenance for the railway industry (acquired by CBM in 2024). While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility, strong technical innovation, and verifiable traction (contracts with SNCF, RATP, ~$2-3M est. revenue), the submission data contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users). The score reflects the high quality of the underlying business and technology, penalized by the poor quality and hallucinatory nature of the provided submission details.
