Gaining Momentum

Rocket Doctor addresses a genuine healthcare access problem with a practical telemedicine solution. However, the submission quality is mixed. While the description claims verifiable traction (250,000 visits and over 400 MDs), inputs for audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are exaggerated and vague. Applying a penalty to evidence and reach quality factors places the final score in the 'small but promising' tier.
