Category Standard

1GLOBAL (formerly Truphone) is a verified, major telecommunications infrastructure provider with significant scale (~£80M+ annual revenue, ~450+ employees). The company provides critical eSIM and global connectivity solutions to thousands of enterprises and financial institutions. While the project demonstrates high real-world utility and verified traction well above the calibration baseline, the submission itself was of poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate data (claiming 3000 employees vs ~450 verified). The high score reflects the verifiable success of the business despite the lazy submission.
