Gaining Momentum

DDS Calorimeters is a verifiable, established manufacturer (50+ years) of scientific equipment, which provides a strong baseline for utility and business viability. However, the submission quality is extremely low, containing hyperbolic false claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people') and confusing data (Project Name 'ThunderStorm' vs Description 'DDS'). The score reflects a solid real-world business penalized heavily for unverifiable and unprofessional submission details.
