Gaining Momentum

The submission for 'SwiftHeart' (Digital Creativity in Disability) presents a mix of verifiable historical success and low-quality, exaggerated submission data. While the entity 'Digital Creativity in Disability' (DCD) is a legitimate Liverpool-based firm with proven traction—specifically securing ~£1M in SBRI Healthcare funding for the 'WarnDry' sensor (2014-2016) and establishing the 'eHealth Cluster'—the submission itself contains red flags. Claims such as 'audience reach: everyone' and 'most people have used my product' are demonstrably false for a niche B2B/medical device developer. The project appears to be largely legacy or pilot-based (peak activity ~2015) rather than a currently scaling high-growth venture. The score reflects the genuine utility and past technical validation (SBRI Phase 2), heavily penalized for the lack of current verifiable traction, poor submission quality, and hyperbolic claims.
