You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate and prestigious entity, the Fashion Innovation Agency (FIA) at London College of Fashion, known for high-value work in AR/VR and fashion tech. However, the submission quality is critically poor, containing demonstrably false claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical metrics ('all time marketcap' for an academic agency). While the entity itself has high real-world utility and innovation, the submission's red flags and lack of verifiable specific traction evidence result in a heavily penalized score, aligning with the 'red flags' calibration range.
