You're In Business

Pure Locations is a legitimate, established Australian location agency (operating since 2004) with verifiable real-world utility in the media production industry. However, the project submission is of extremely poor quality, containing exaggerated claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000'). While the business itself is a functional SME with solid niche traction (1,500+ locations, ~100 shoots/month), it lacks technical innovation and the submission failed to provide credible evidence, resulting in a low score consistent with a non-technical SME submitting lazy data.
