Industry Mainstay

The submission confuses Jellyfish.co (Engineering Management Platform, ~200 employees) with Jellyfish Group (Digital Marketing Agency, ~2,000+ employees). Despite the inaccurate data and hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') in the submission, independent verification confirms Jellyfish.co is a market leader in the EMP space with verifiable Series C funding ($71M, 2022) and significant enterprise adoption. The final score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction of the company, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission evidence.
