Certified Problem Solver

Wild Child Animation is a verified, award-winning studio in Scotland with high-profile clients (Warner Bros, BBC, Sky) and verifiable projects like 'The Brilliant World of Tom Gates' and 'Toad & Friends'. However, the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies: the team size (350) contradicts external data (approx. 35-50 permanent staff), and financial metrics ('marketcap: 50000') are nonsensical. The 'Audience Reach' claim ('everyone') is hyperbolic. The score reflects the strong underlying business reality, heavily penalized for the poor quality and reliability of the submitted data.
