Gaining Momentum

The project submission for 'Sidekick Interactive' (submitted under the name 'DeepForge') presents significant anomalies. While Sidekick Interactive is a verified, established mobile app agency in Montreal (founded 2011, ~20-50 employees), the submission contains hallucinations (name mismatch), false traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and confused financial metrics ('marketcap' for a private agency). The score acknowledges the real-world utility of the underlying agency business but applies heavy penalties for the low-quality, likely automated submission that fails to accurately represent the entity's actual traction.

Project Details

Description
Your mobile app vision. Our expertise. We specialize in: - iOS native apps - Android native apps - UX-UI design of apps - 3D-scanning apps - EV apps - Apps for researchers - IoT apps - SmartCity apps Since 2011, our Montreal-based multidisciplinary team works on ambitious projects in America and Europe, helping transform ideas into powerful applications. We created 2 steps to achieve success within the right time-frame. First, we propose in-house developed products which can be adapted to your needs. We have created apps frameworks for numerous markets, from Tourism, to Smart-City Solutions, to 3D Scan. Second and foremost, we build custom solutions which are co-created with our clients. It starts with our experts and you, sitting down for a co-creation workshop. Why? To immerse ourselves in your project, share ideas and expertise, and create a strategy that aligns with your objectives. Only once we are on the same page can we start designing your app together. The workshop ends with our client having a project brief and a functional prototype in-hand. After this, our iOS and Android programmers can start using their magic to develop your native mobile app. But you’re not off the hook. It takes constant communication and transparency for the project to run smoothly, and for us to succeed in putting the best mobile solution possible in your hands. But for all that to happen, you need experts, UX/UI designers and senior programmers in a trustworthy, reliable development company. You need a Sidekick. That being said, shall we start?
