Make Time Count Today is a verifiable, high-impact GovTech project backed by InnovateUK (Top 1% of ideas) and piloted by UK Police forces. The platform addresses critical issues in the criminal justice system (admin burden, reoffending) with AI-driven interventions. However, the submission itself was of very low quality, containing filler text ('everyone', 'most people') and a likely fake email, which heavily penalized the Reach and Traction quality factors. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified external status of the project, significantly discounted by the poor submission data.
