Gaining Momentum

Legitimate UK GovTech startup (The Future Fox) with verified B2G traction (HM Government, Local Councils) and 'Stateup21' recognition. The project addresses a genuine urban planning need with a practical SaaS solution. However, the submission input contained low-quality placeholder claims ('everyone', 'most people') which contradict the niche B2G reality. The score reflects strong verified utility and traction, penalized by the poor submission quality and early-stage scale relative to the calibration benchmark.
