Springboard is a well-established, Series B funded EdTech company with verified revenue ($50M+) and thousands of graduates, placing it significantly above the calibration baseline. However, the project submission itself ('DeepBlade') was low-quality, containing false or lazy claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'all time marketcap: null'). The evaluation prioritizes the verifiable external reality of the Springboard entity (high utility, established traction) while heavily penalizing the Response Quality and Traction Quality factors due to the poor input data. The final score reflects a 'Much larger scale' entity (400–700 range) adjusted for submission deficiencies.
