==========
DESCRIPTION:

The teams are sent to the London Stock Exchange where Lord Sugar challenges the teams to create a banking app and accompanying money box, meant to be used by six-to-nine-year-olds, and pitch them to industry experts. Half the teams work on marketing while the sub-teams are sent to Salisbury to work on the app design. Ascendancy design their app and money box around a dog mascot, encountering problems such as a lack of financial information and a money box that is considered incorrect for the brief. Parallel have a noted lack of coordination between their money box looking like a pot of gold and their quiz-based app being themed around a superhero; despite this, they manage to secure investments. Ascendancy fail to secure any investments, leaving them to face further criticism for their failure, during which Frederick Afrifa is immediately fired before the final boardroom for demonstrating poor leadership throughout the task. Of the remainder of Ascendancy, Keir Shave is later dismissed for struggling during the pitch, which was deemed as the main cause of the failure.
