You're In Business

Main Street Analytics is a small B2B analytics consultancy solving genuine problems for SMBs using established BI tools. However, the submission includes highly exaggerated and unsupported claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and user traction ('most people have used my product'), leading to low quality multipliers and a final score reflective of a small-scale consultancy with minimal verifiable scale.
