Industry Mainstay

DareData Engineering is a verified, high-growth AI consultancy (75+ employees, €3.1M+ revenue) with significant market traction in Portugal and internationally. The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and timing, servicing major clients like NOS and Coca-Cola. However, the submission itself was of poor quality, containing hallucinations ('everyone' audience, 'most people' traction) and metadata errors ('construction' tag), which necessitated heavy penalties on the Quality Factors for Reach and Response. Despite the sloppy submission, the underlying business is robust, justifying a score significantly above the calibration baseline.
