Industry Mainstay

The project URL (getwair.com) and description identify 'WAIR', a leading B2B AI sizing solution with significant verified traction ($15M+ est. revenue, 50M shoppers, major brand partners). However, the submission data contains severe contradictions, including listing the business type as 'Sneaker cleaning' (confusing it with the unrelated 'w\'air' device) and claiming a team size of 3 (LinkedIn indicates 11-50). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified scale of the actual company (placing it in the 'Much larger scale' 400–700 range), heavily penalized by the poor response quality and inaccurate submission details.

Description
We started in 2018 to solve two major problems in fashion and apparel:\n1. Shoppers hate using size charts and other available tools to select sizes.\n2. Brands and Merchants don't have any idea of the body shapes of their customers.\n\nWAIR developed a solution that lives on an e-commerce store that predicts the body dimensions of each shopper and helps them order the best fitting products. Then WAIR ties together a tremendous amount of data and offers insights to brands and merchants to help them with product design, inventory management, customer support, and marketing strategies.\n\nWhen brands integrate WAIR, they see a 40X ROI.
