Certified Problem Solver

Aescuvest is a verified, legitimate pan-European equity crowdfunding platform for healthcare, operating since 2014 with partnerships like EIT Health. However, the project submission was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience reach: everyone'), lazy inputs ('traction: most people have used my product'), and generic tags. While the platform has high real-world utility and proven longevity (~21 funded deals), the lack of verifiable data in the submission and the modest deal volume (~2 deals/year) resulted in significant penalties to the Traction and Reach scores.
