Category Standard

Performio is a well-established Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) platform with significant verified traction ($17M+ est. annual revenue, ~$75M funding, ~140 employees). While the project entity demonstrates high real-world utility and strong market positioning, the submission quality was extremely poor, featuring verifiable inaccuracies (claiming 350 employees vs ~140 real; claiming 'everyone' as audience; confusing market cap with revenue). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals verified externally, penalized by the low quality of the specific submission data.
