Certified Problem Solver

Progress is a verified, established consultancy (est. 1999) in the Netherlands with significant revenue (~€17M) and team size (55-350 verified vs 350 claimed). While the submission contained low-quality and exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people'), external verification confirms high real-world utility in the pharmaceutical/biotech sector. The score reflects a mature, profitable business model, penalized for low technical innovation (service-based) and poor submission quality.
