You're In Business

Younity addresses a valid problem in residential managed WiFi (MDU), offering potential utility for landlords and tenants. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing unverifiable and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and audience reach of 'everyone'). While the business model is sound and the market timing is relevant, the lack of concrete traction data, combined with a small team size (1-10) and vague technical details, results in a low score. The project is penalized heavily for poor evidence and response quality.
