Industry Mainstay

Talkpush is a verified, established B2B recruitment automation platform with significant market traction (12M+ annual conversations, major enterprise clients like Concentrix and Amazon). While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and robust business fundamentals (est. $5M+ revenue, 50+ employees), the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. Consequently, significant penalties were applied to the Quality Factors for Traction and Reach, lowering the score from a potential 700+ to the 500s.
