Yoono.io is a verified B2B RegTech platform providing automated due diligence and KYC screening. External search confirms the company (YOONO LTD) is active, UK-based, and was recently selected for the 'Catapult: FundTech 2026' program, indicating legitimate industry traction and technology. However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 50000'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified external traction of the project, significantly penalized for the inaccurate and unprofessional submission details.
