Gaining Momentum

Lakeshore Communications is a verifiable, established business (founded 1972) in Toronto with significant longevity and a team of ~30. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 500000' in a revenue field). While the real-world utility of two-way radios is solid, the project lacks technical innovation and digital scalability compared to high-growth tech ventures. The score reflects the stability of the underlying business, penalized heavily for the lack of specific evidence and the exaggerated reach claims in the submission.
