YNOS Venture Engine is a verified business intelligence platform incubated at IIT Madras, offering market analytics for the Indian startup ecosystem. While the project has legitimate backing and demonstrable utility in its niche, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people') and ambiguous metrics ('15100000' marketcap). Actual traction involves modest revenue (~$73k/year) and a team of ~20. The score acknowledges the real-world value and institutional support while heavily penalizing the lack of professional detail and reach in the submission.
