Category Standard

Pace is a highly established Architecture, Engineering, and Planning firm (founded 1968, ~3000 employees) with significant real-world utility and verified large-scale regional traction. However, the specific project submission contains low-effort responses (e.g., audience 'everyone', project name 'StarForge', traction claim 'most people have used my product'), which significantly lowered the Quality Factors. While the underlying business fundamentals warrant a high score comparable to major enterprises, the submission quality penalizes the Innovation and Response metrics.
