Category Standard

Uptick is a verifiable market leader in fire protection and asset maintenance software, servicing over 1.6 million buildings globally with backing from major equity firms (PSG). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction (estimated $15M-$25M+ revenue), the submission quality was poor, utilizing hyperbolic placeholders ('everyone', 'most people') rather than accurate data. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, heavily penalized by the lack of specific evidence in the submission.
