Category Standard

Shibumi is a high-value, established enterprise SaaS platform for Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) with significant verifiable traction (Series B funding, ~170 employees, global enterprise client base). However, the submission itself contained major inaccuracies (Project Name 'SwiftKeeper', Audience 'everyone', Traction 'most people') which heavily penalized the Quality Factors. Despite the low-quality submission, the project's actual real-world utility and scale place it in the top tier of the calibration range.
