You're In Business

Circadacare is a verifiable UK-based health tech company (Inc. 2020) with a legitimate product (Heleos) integrating circadian lighting and AI monitoring. They have secured ~$2.7M in funding and have case studies with care homes (e.g., Ashmere, WCS Care). However, the project submission contains significant inaccuracies: claiming 'most people' have used the product (false), listing audience as 'everyone' (false; it is niche B2B/B2C), and stating team size as 30 (verified ~11-13). The 'marketcap' figure likely refers to valuation or funding, not revenue. Despite strong technical utility and verified backing, the score is heavily penalized for the low-quality, exaggerated submission data and lack of mass market traction relative to the claimed reach.
