Gaining Momentum

The Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons (ALSGBI) is a legitimate, established professional body (founded 1994) with verifiable revenue (~£370k/yr) and a team of ~30 (trustees/volunteers). However, the submission quality is poor, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people') and misused terminology ('marketcap'). While the real-world utility is high within its medical niche, the project lacks the broad reach and traction claimed. The score reflects the value of the underlying organization, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and low-effort submission.
