Category Standard

DrugDev is a verified, high-impact clinical trial technology platform (acquired by IQVIA) with significant global reach and revenue (est. $150M+). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional utility and traction within the pharmaceutical industry, the submission quality was poor, containing inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and vague descriptions. The score reflects the project's proven enterprise value, adjusted downward for the low quality of the provided evidence.
