Gaining Momentum

The project represents a legitimate boutique consultancy and investment portfolio ('Growth Strategy') with verifiable ties to UK startups like CrowdProperty. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring hallucinations ('most people have used my product'), vague audience definitions ('everyone'), and confusion between revenue and market cap. While the underlying business appears established with a team of 30, the project is a service business, not a technology platform, and lacks the scalable tech innovation required for a high score.
