GlobalVision is a verified, established market leader in automated proofreading software for regulated industries, founded in 1990. External search confirms significant scale (~120 employees, estimated $20M revenue) and Fortune 500 clientele (Pfizer, Unilever), contradicting the modest and inaccurate submission data (e.g., 'space-technology' tag, '7-30' team size). The project demonstrates exceptional traction and real-world utility, though the submission quality itself was poor.
