Gaining Momentum

The project 'Silver Buck' identifies as a legitimate, established UK-based health tech PR agency (verified externally). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing copy-pasted descriptions mixed with false or irrelevant data (e.g., 'all time marketcap: 17000000', traction claim 'most people have used my product', and audience 'everyone'). While the agency has genuine B2B utility and a reputable niche standing, the submission fails to provide accurate technical or traction evidence. The score reflects the underlying business value heavily discounted by the lack of verifiable proof and poor data integrity in the application.
