Industry Mainstay

The project refers to 'Lane Four' and its product 'Highroad'. External verification confirms Lane Four is a successful Salesforce consultancy in Canada (approx. 100 employees) and the 'Highroad' product was acquired in 2022, indicating high real-world utility and market validation. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing copy-pasted marketing text from circa 2021, false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), and nonsensical data fields ('all time marketcap: null'). The score reflects the verifiable success of the underlying business/product, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission.
