Score Rationale

iJigg is a social music voting platform with no apparent defense application, military expertise, or domain relevance—this is a consumer music startup misclassified as defense tech. YC alumni status (2007) provides minimal validation for a defense thesis, and the company shows no evidence of government contracts, defense customers, or any pivot toward national security applications.
