BlakYaks is a verified, high-value Azure consulting and platform engineering firm based in the UK. External validation confirms significant traction with £5.6M in revenue, a team of ~50, and a recent acquisition by Proact IT Group (March 2025). The project demonstrates high real-world utility and technical competence in the cloud-native space. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing nonsense placeholder data (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'BlazeSpirit'), which heavily impacted the Response Quality score. The final rating reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals despite the poor form entry.
