Stoktake is a verifiable AgTech project with a live Beta app for livestock biometric identification, demonstrating high real-world utility and technical innovation. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). While the underlying technology addresses a genuine problem in agriculture (livestock theft and traceability), the project is currently early-stage with minimal verifiable adoption, placing it in the 'Minimal Traction' calibration bracket.
