You're In Business

Data New England operates in a relevant market (AI and data consulting) but submitted highly exaggerated and unverified claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and targeting 'everyone'. The lack of custom technology and poorly detailed metrics resulted in heavily penalized quality factors across most criteria, placing the project well below established benchmarks.
