Gaining Momentum

Insource Recruitment Technology appears to be a legitimate, functioning B2B platform for legal recruitment in New Zealand and Australia, verified by external search results (industry awards, press coverage, active website). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (audience reach 'everyone', traction 'most people'), irrelevant tags ('energy-solutions'), and a likely pseudonym ('ShadowForge'). While the underlying business has verifiable utility and niche market fit, the score is heavily penalized by the poor submission quality and the lack of verifiable user data beyond the directory size.
