Certified Problem Solver

Forwrd.ai is a legitimate, high-utility predictive analytics platform for RevOps, evidenced by its acquisition by Pendo and $3.5M seed funding. However, the project submission itself provided extremely poor data, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people') and nonsensical revenue figures. The score reflects the verified high value and traction of the actual technology, heavily penalized by the low quality and lack of evidence in the user's submission.
