Platform Science is a verified 'Unicorn' in the fleet management space with over $300M in funding, 1,000+ employees, and partnerships with major OEMs (Daimler, PACCAR). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('audience: everyone') and hyperbolic traction statements ('most people have used my product') without evidence. Consequently, while the Real-World Utility and underlying Traction scores are maximized based on external verification, the Quality Factors for Reach, Traction, and Response are heavily penalized (0.5x), significantly reducing the final score from a potential ~950 to 648.
