Compuco is a verifiable, established digital agency (50+ employees) based in London with a history dating back to 1977 (originally as Compucorp). They specialize in open-source tools (Drupal, CiviCRM) for high-impact non-profits like Amnesty International and Wikimedia. While the submission included some hyperbolic metadata (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'blockchain' tags unsupported by public footprint), the underlying business is substantial, robust, and socially useful. The score reflects the strong 'real-world' traction of the agency, penalized slightly for the disconnect between the submission's inaccurate tags and the agency's actual service offerings.
