Category Standard

SalesIntel is a verified, high-traction B2B revenue intelligence platform with estimated annual revenue of ~$25M and over 160 employees. It significantly outperforms the calibration baseline (HackerNoon) in terms of scale and market penetration. However, the project submission itself contained low-effort, inaccurate placeholders (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as traction evidence), which significantly penalized the Traction and Reach scores despite the company's objective success.
