Grow Progress

Grow Progress is a verifiable and substantial entity in the political technology space, with a team of ~63 employees and significant traction among major Democratic pollsters and advocacy groups (verified via PitchBook and external search). However, the project submission itself is of very poor quality, containing hyperbolic and lazy claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). This results in a score that recognizes the company's real-world scale (significantly larger than the reference calibration of HackerNoon) but imposes heavy penalties for the lack of evidence and professional detail in the input data. The project has high utility and market timing, but the submission fails to adequately document it.
