Gaining Momentum

Zabble presents a solid problem-solution fit for B2B waste management, capitalizing on the growing relevance of the circular economy. However, the submission is heavily penalized for implausible and exaggerated claims, such as stating 'most people have used my product' for an enterprise waste platform, alongside a highly disproportionate team size of 125 compared to a $2.5M market cap. These contradictions resulted in significant quality factor reductions for traction, reach, and response quality.
