Gaining Momentum

Epidemos is a legitimate, verified epidemiological consultancy based in Basel, Switzerland, offering high-value research support services. However, the project submission contains significant errors, including a mismatched project name ('SwiftWalker'), clearly false traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and nonsensical financial metrics ('marketcap' for revenue). While the underlying business has real-world utility in the academic sector, the submission quality severely impacts the score.
