Portal-iQ is a legitimate HubSpot-certified audit tool with verifiable existence in the HubSpot App Marketplace and participation in the 2022 App Accelerator. However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), vague audience definitions ('everyone'), and nonsensical financial data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying technology solves a genuine problem for HubSpot users (CRM data hygiene), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the false claims regarding traction and reach. The evaluation relies on external verification to prevent a negative score, categorizing it as a functional niche B2B tool with valid market timing but minimal proven scale based on the provided input.
