IGOR (Wildfell Software) appears to be a legitimate 21 CFR Part 11-compliant Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) solving a real problem in the life sciences sector. However, the project submission is heavily penalized for providing factually incorrect and hyperbolic claims in key metrics (claiming audience is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people'). The financial figure provided ('marketcap: 2500000') is inconsistent with the claimed team size of 30, suggesting potential data inaccuracy. The low score reflects the lack of verifiable evidence and the 'red flag' nature of the response quality, despite the potential utility of the software.

Description
IGOR is a secure, 21 CFR Part 11-compliant electronic lab notebook with integrated file and SOP management, inventory & sample tracking, customizable templates, and collaboration features. IGOR’s Experiment Documentation System strikes a smart balance between standardization and adaptability: Your research documentation structure gains a standardized backbone across your organization, while retaining the flexibility needed to adapt to each team's unique workflows. The electronic lab notebook and data file management system provide your team with everything they need to efficiently document their research, and store and manage data files - All in one place! IGOR offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to assist your team in adhering to regulatory guidelines, including a meticulous audit trail (versioning of notebook entries AND data files), electronic signatures for witnessing and approval, and SOP management. What further sets IGOR apart is its unique user account structure. It not only grants you the ability to fine-tune access rights and user permissions on an individual basis but also provides a secure and simplified means of data sharing and transfers between your company and external collaborators, such as CROs. Even when a user departs from your organization and their IGOR account is deactivated, your company's invaluable research data is safeguarded: The experiment records of former team members remain easily searchable and readily accessible to your team. IGOR’s design is rooted in over a decade of real-world lab experience and is tailored to the unique needs of research teams in the life sciences. We know and understands how scientists think, search for information, and handle documentation because, well, we have been there ourselves. Our team has a wealth of experience in both academic and industry labs and we’ve applied these insights to IGOR’s design to make it intuitive and easy for scientists to use.
