Gaining Momentum

The project 'Zen Golf' (Zen Green Stage) is a verified, legitimate, and innovative company producing adjustable moving floors for golf simulators, with significant traction including partnerships with Sky Sports and PGA professionals. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, featuring demonstrably false claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people'), professional username irregularities ('MysticFang'), and nonsensical financial data ('marketcap: 50000'). The score reflects the high verifiable utility and innovation of the actual hardware, heavily penalized (50% reduction) for the unreliable and spam-like submission data.
