360 Eats is a verified 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Florida tackling food waste and insecurity with over 444k lbs of food rescued since 2020. While the real-world utility is high and the organization is legitimate with ~$300k in annual revenue, the submission itself contained significant exaggerations (claiming 'most people' have used it and 'everyone' is the audience) and incorrect financial terminology ('marketcap'). The project scores well on utility and verified local traction but low on scalable reach and submission quality.
