Gaining Momentum

The submission appears to be for 'Advintage Distributing', a legitimate and established regional wine and spirits wholesaler in the Southeastern US (SC, NC, TN), rather than a new technology project. While the business demonstrates significant real-world utility and verified traction (revenue, employee count), it lacks technical innovation and the submission quality is poor (hyperbolic claims of 'everyone' as audience). The score reflects the entity's substantial business reality (~$17M+ revenue, large team) balanced against its lack of technological novelty and the non-tech nature of the submission.
