Category Standard

Little Hinges is a legitimate, high-growth Australian PropTech company (verified externally despite the poor quality of this submission). They are the market leader in virtual tours in Australia with over 300,000 monthly users and 50+ staff. The project solves a critical real-world problem (remote property inspection) with verified traction including major enterprise clients (Ray White, LJ Hooker). However, the submission itself contained significant errors (wrong name 'SwiftStone', nonsensical revenue data, hyperbole 'most people have used my product'), which heavily impacted the Response Quality score. The high final score reflects the objective reality of the business's success rather than the quality of the input data.
