Industry Mainstay

Plutora is a verifiable, established market leader in Value Stream Management (VSM) with a significant team size (125 employees) and enterprise traction, which places it in the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier. However, the specific submission provided contained low-effort, hyperbolic ('most people have used my product'), and inaccurate claims ('Computer Software', 'everyone'), resulting in substantial penalties to Quality Factors. The final score reflects the entity's strong real-world positioning adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submitted evidence.
