Certified Problem Solver

Arcion Labs is a highly successful enterprise data company, acquired by Databricks in October 2023 for ~$100 million. It solves a critical problem in real-time data replication (CDC) for Fortune 500 companies. While the project's real-world utility and traction are exceptionally high (validated by the exit), the submission itself was of poor quality, containing inaccurate claims (e.g., 'audienceReach: everyone', 'marketcap: 17000000') which negatively impacted the Response Quality and Reach scores.
