The project 'UPCYDE' addresses a significant environmental challenge (agricultural waste transformation) with high market relevance. However, the submission quality is critically low, characterized by hyperbolic and unverifiable claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). While the underlying concept and domain (DeepBlade/Upcyde.space) show promise in the climate-tech sector, the lack of concrete metrics, revenue data, or technical detail in this submission prevents a higher valuation. The score reflects a legitimate business idea undermined by a failure to provide proof of usefulness.

Description
Nature's wastes have encouraged us to rethink how we manufacture the products we use on a daily basis.

Nowadays, many companies and customers are increasing their actions to minimize emissions as a result of a renewed focus on global efforts to fight waste and pollution.
