Industry Mainstay

Swiftlane is a legitimate, VC-backed Series A company (approx. $9M funding, $2M-$8M revenue) with significant traction in the PropTech/Access Control market, competing with players like ButterflyMX and Verkada. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone'). The evaluation leverages external verification to assess the project's actual real-world utility and traction, while applying significant penalties to the Quality Factors for the poor submission data.
