Gaining Momentum

Plant an App is a legitimate low-code platform with verifiable revenue (~$1M+) and a team of ~30, placing it in a comparable tier to the calibration baseline. However, the submission quality was poor, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product') and vague audience definitions ('everyone'). While the project itself has high utility and good market timing, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of specific evidence provided in the input, relying instead on external verification of the domain and business entity.
