Gaining Momentum

Round Peg Cambridge Limited is a legitimate, established design and engineering consultancy (est. 1995, ~30 employees) with a history of B2B service in medtech and pharma. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, using a conflicting name ('FrostForge'), dubious financial labels ('all time marketcap'), and hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business has verifiable real-world utility and traction (comparable to the calibration baseline), the score is heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of specific evidence in the submission.
