You're In Business

Quest IT Recruitment Ltd. is a standard, regionally-focused staffing agency with a small team of 6 and no distinct proprietary technology. The submission includes highly exaggerated and unsupported claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone' and traction stating 'most people have used my product'), which heavily penalizes the quality multipliers for those criteria. With an unclear 'marketcap' of 500k since 2016, the project demonstrates minimal scalability and falls squarely into the lowest calibration tier.
