The submission conflates two separate entities: 'Aligned' (teamaligned.com), a Series A sales software startup, and 'Aligned Data Centers', a multi-billion dollar infrastructure company. While the URL and description refer to the sales software, the financial metrics ($40B market cap), launch date (2013), and business type (Data center services) erroneously refer to the infrastructure firm. The evaluation scores the actual utility of the verified sales software but applies significant penalties to Traction and Reach due to the grossly inaccurate and contradictory submission data.
