ScaleGrid is a verifiable, established Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) provider founded in 2012 with estimated annual revenue of $2M-$5M and a team of ~18 employees. The project demonstrates high real-world utility and verified traction with enterprise clients (e.g., Atlassian, VMware). However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, utilizing hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') instead of providing actual data. Consequently, while the underlying business scores well on utility and verifiable traction, the final score is significantly penalized by low Quality Factors in the Evidence and Reach categories due to the lack of serious submission effort.
