Gaining Momentum

SOS Talent is a verifiable recruitment and HR agency based in Ontario, Canada, founded in 2019. However, the submission presents it as a technology project without evidence of proprietary tech or innovation. The input data contains significant quality issues, including hyperbolic claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and confused financial metrics ('marketcap' likely conflated with cumulative revenue). While a legitimate service business with a reported team of 30, it lacks the digital scale, technical differentiation, and user base to score highly as a technology project.
