Worksome is a verified, successful scale-up (approx. $19M revenue, ~90 employees) addressing a significant market need in freelance workforce management. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring lazy placeholders (e.g., 'technologies: leadership') and verifiably false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'). The score balances the high real-world merit of the project with substantial penalties for the poor quality and lack of evidence in the application itself.
