Industry Mainstay

Tummoc (formerly Bykerr) is a verifiable, high-utility multi-modal transit application operating in India with significant traction (2.5M+ users, government partnerships). However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, providing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') rather than concrete data. While the project's real-world utility and verified external metrics are strong, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of evidence provided in the submission itself.
