Certified Problem Solver

The project '60 Decibels' is a verifiable, high-impact B2B social measurement company spun out of Acumen, with significant funding ($15M+) and global reach (1,200+ researchers). However, the specific submission provided is of extremely low quality, likely automated or spam (User 'SilentBlade', claims 'everyone' as audience, false 'marketcap' data). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction of the actual entity, heavily penalized by the poor quality and inaccurate claims of the submission data.
