The submission describes a legitimate physical venue (The Alley Theatre in Strabane) rather than a technology project. While the venue itself has local utility and established operations (operating since 2007), the submission fails to demonstrate technical innovation or digital scalability. The input data contains significant quality issues, such as the claim that 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people' have used the product, alongside a misunderstanding of 'market cap' versus revenue/funding. As a tech project evaluation, this scores very low due to lack of custom technology and verifiable digital traction, despite the physical entity's likely stability.
