Gaining Momentum

Young Foodies is a verified, established UK-based consultancy and community for challenger FMCG brands (founded 2016) with a solid reputation in its niche. However, the project submission suffers from extremely low-quality data (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users), which significantly penalizes the score. While the service offers high real-world utility to its specific members, it lacks technical innovation (relying on standard professional services) and scalability compared to pure-play tech products.
