Category Standard

Science Exchange is a well-established, high-value B2B marketplace for R&D outsourcing with significant verified external traction (Series C, $70M+ funding, top pharma clients). However, the project submission itself contains low-quality, inaccurate data (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as active users). The score reflects the high verifiable utility and scale of the actual company, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and inaccurate claims in the submission form.
