Category Standard

Positive Solutions (referenced as 'DeepHeart') is a verified, major UK healthcare technology provider specializing in pharmacy management systems (PMR) since 1993. Acquired by Mawdsleys, the company generates ~£12M-£17M in revenue with a team of ~120-350, serving ~17% of the UK pharmacy market. While the submission itself was of extremely low quality (incorrect product name, vague claims like 'everyone'), the underlying business demonstrates high real-world utility, significant established traction, and national-scale impact, justifying a score in the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier despite the poor entry.
