You're In Business

The Society for HealthCare Innovation (SHCI) is a verifiable non-profit organization (est. 2020) that organizes healthcare innovation conferences and holds academic partnerships (e.g., IEEE, UC Santa Cruz). However, the project submission is of exceptionally poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used it, listing audience as 'everyone') and nonsensical data (listing a 'marketcap' of 17M for a non-profit). While the organization has legitimate niche utility, the submission's lack of seriousness and credibility severely penalizes the score, placing it in the 'minimal traction' category.
