The submission describes a standard recruitment consultancy rather than a technology innovation. While 'The Graduate Project' appears to be a legitimate established UK business (founded 2013), the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), inconsistencies ('BlazeForge' in name field), and a lack of specific technological utility. The score reflects the disconnect between a service-based SME and the criteria for a high-growth technology project, heavily penalized by low-quality, unverifiable responses.
