Gaining Momentum

The project 'Sqwad' is a verified B2B sponsorship activation platform (sqwadhq.com) with significant real-world traction, including clients like the Chicago Bulls and Pittsburgh Pirates. However, the submission itself contained hyperbolic and inaccurate data (claiming 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as users), which severely impacted the Quality Factors for Reach and Response. The final score reflects the legitimate business value and verified traction, balanced against the penalties for a low-quality, unverifiable submission.
