Industry Mainstay

iLert is a verified, established B2B SaaS company (founded ~2011) competing with PagerDuty and OpsGenie, serving enterprise clients like Siemens and IKEA. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and verified market traction, the specific submission provided was of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking detail. The score reflects the strong external reality of the business, heavily penalized by the poor quality of evidence provided in the submission.
