ZeroG Coating Systems is a verifiable R&D initiative linked to Lemmer Spray Systems (a 60-year-old Canadian company), developing AI-driven spraying robots (BAWA-786) for extreme environments. While the problem-solution fit is high and the parent company provides credibility, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing patently false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and nonsensical financial data ('marketcap: 500000'). External validation confirms the project is in the hiring/prototype phase (recruiting for data collection and Raspberry Pi integration), contradicting the traction claims. The score reflects the project's potential utility but is heavily penalized for the lack of honest/accurate evidence provided in the submission.

Description
We are ZeroG Coating Systems, driven by a simple question — what if we could create a sprayer capable of operating in space or any extreme environment? This question inspired BAWA-786 (Beyond Atmosphere Work Automation), the world’s first robot to combine AI, machine learning, and Lemmer Spray Systems sprayers to autonomously detect and maintain metal surfaces. As nations like the US, China, India, and Japan deploy valuable assets into space, we aim to be the first company on Earth extending their operational life — while applying the same technology to critical assets here, in industries that face harsh environments, inaccessibility, and costly downtime. Powered by ADAM (Autonomous Detection and Maintenance) and driven by our proprietary, patent pending Coatelligence™, BAWA-786 can recognize surface conditions and act with precision, redefining maintenance in extreme conditions. Our breakthrough technology is designed to serve: ✅ Oil & Gas ✅ Marine ✅ Outer Space (Mars and the Moon) Our competitive advantage lies in our unique image database and AI-driven Coatelligence™, enabling BAWA-786 to make autonomous, highly accurate maintenance decisions — both on Earth and beyond.
