Industry Mainstay

Acre Software is a legitimate, high-growth UK fintech platform managing over £20bn in annual mortgage volume with ~£14.5M in funding. While the project demonstrates strong real-world utility and technical innovation (blockchain-based compliance), the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false placeholders (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lacking data. The score reflects the high value of the actual business, heavily penalized for the low-effort submission.
