You're In Business

Urbio is a verifiable, high-potential generative design platform for urban energy transition, originating as an EPFL spinoff. However, the specific submission provided contains hyperbolic and inaccurate data (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), which severely impacts the Traction and Response Quality scores. While the underlying technology and market timing are strong, the project's Proof of Usefulness is dragged down by a lack of verifiable metrics in the submission itself.
