Category Standard

Petal (Petal Health) is a verified, established Canadian health-tech company (founded 2010) with significant scale (~300+ employees, estimated $25M-$50M revenue, 3,000+ healthcare facilities). The project solves a high-utility problem: healthcare workforce orchestration and patient scheduling. External verification confirms robust traction (Gartner recognition, 401% growth), significantly outperforming the vague submission claims ('most people', 'everyone'). The score reflects the company's strong fundamentals and market position, penalized slightly for the low quality and hyperbole of the submission text.
