Gaining Momentum

Suspect Technologies is a verified, established B2G entity (founded 2015) providing 'AgentAI' and facial redaction/recognition software to law enforcement, including clients like the Dallas Mavericks and hundreds of police agencies. While the project has high real-world utility for privacy compliance (FOIA) and verifiable traction (approx. $2.5M funding, significant adoption), the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and unprofessional data. The score reflects the strong underlying business reality and market timing, heavily penalized by the submission's inaccuracy and the niche nature of the actual audience compared to the claimed consumer reach.
