Certified Problem Solver

NuBinary is a verifiable, established fractional CTO and software consultancy based in Canada with a team of ~47 (including contractors) and a history of 125+ clients since 2017. While the business itself has high real-world utility and verified B2B traction (via Clutch and external search), the submission quality was extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing financial data. The project scores well on utility and market timing but suffers significant penalties for response quality and inaccurate audience reach claims.
