Industry Mainstay

CIC (Cambridge Innovation Center) is a verified global leader in innovation infrastructure (est. 1999), managing over 1.5M sq ft of workspace and labs with estimated annual revenue >$250M. Despite a low-quality submission containing vague and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap' confusion), external verification confirms exceptional Real-World Utility, extensive Audience Reach, and massive Traction (10,000+ historic clients, $17B+ client funding). The project scores in the 'Much Larger Scale' tier based on verified business metrics, though the Response Quality score is heavily penalized.
