Gaining Momentum

Caredove is a legitimate, established Canadian healthcare platform (est. 2012, ~$1.3M+ revenue, 800+ orgs) solving a vital eReferral problem. However, the submission provided by 'BlazeShade' is extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction of the business, significantly penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the false reach claims.
