The submission references 'mPortal', a historical mobile software services company acquired by BroadSoft (now Cisco) in 2017. While the historical entity achieved verifiable success and a confirmed exit, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people'), nonsensical data ('marketcap: null'), and a name mismatch ('SwiftStorm'). The low score reflects the lack of current actionable utility for a legacy/acquired entity and the poor credibility of the provided inputs.
