How to Evaluate a Project’s True Innovation Capability:Check technical depth: Real innovation solves hard problems that others can’t (read whitepaper/code, not just hype).
Compare with SOTA: Is it 10% better or 10x better than existing open-source/state-of-the-art?
Verify claims independently: Reproduce results, audit contracts, or test the product yourself.
Team track record: Have they shipped groundbreaking work before, not just marketed?
Patent/novel publication: True breakthroughs often appear in peer-reviewed venues first.
