The project 'ACT Cooperative Corporation AS' represents a legitimate Norwegian entity (established ~2015) developing a sustainable shopping app utilizing crowdsourced data ('Tomato A vs Tomato B'). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') which severely damage credibility. While the core mission is highly relevant to current market trends (sustainability), the project appears to have stagnated in 'beta' status for years despite a launch date of 2015. The discrepancy between the claimed global dominance and the reality of a niche, regional beta product results in a low score.
