The submission describes Transact (IntegraFin Holdings plc), a major UK financial platform listed on the FTSE 250. While the project represents a massive, established business with over £65.9B in funds under direction, the submission quality is mixed. The description accurately details the scale and utility, but the form fields contain copy-paste errors (e.g., 'SwiftRider' as name, 'most people' as traction) and inaccurate financial data ($17M market cap vs actual ~£1.2B). The score reflects the immense real-world traction and utility of the actual entity, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' section for the poor submission effort.

We work hard to continually challenge the way we do things to maintain our market leading status. The Transact platform enables clients and their advisers to hold and manage their financial portfolio in one single online place, and is supported by unrivalled personal service. Our goal is to make all aspects of portfolio management as easy and efficient as possible for everyone involved.

Our strategy: We make financial planning easier for advisers by delivering great service. Our platform helps advisers grow revenues and reduce risk and cost in their business. We will always have control of our technology, wrappers and service. Our values: We do the right thing for customers, advisers, staff, shareholders, suppliers and the wider community. Transact's parent company, IntegraFin Holdings plc, is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index.
