Gaining Momentum

Redhill Games is a legitimate, venture-backed studio in Helsinki (founded by ex-Remedy veterans) with significant operational scale (~50+ employees). However, the project submission is of very low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lacking specific metrics. While the studio has raised significant capital (~$30M+), their primary IP 'Nine to Five' struggled commercially, leading to a pivot towards co-development. The score acknowledges the verifiable business infrastructure and team pedigree but is heavily penalized for the misleading traction claims and lack of current product momentum.
