Category Standard

Urbint is a highly significant AI enterprise project focused on critical infrastructure resilience and worker safety. Founded in 2015, the company has achieved major verifiable traction, culminating in an acquisition agreement by Itron for $325 million (Q4 2025). While the project's real-world utility and market impact are exceptional (serving clients like National Grid and Southern Company), the submission itself is of poor quality, containing exaggerated claims ('everyone uses it') and inaccurate financial data ('marketcap 17000000'). However, external verification confirms the project's 'Much Larger Scale' status, justifying a high score despite the low-effort submission.
