The submission for 'Caden' (cadenio.com) appears to contain a typo and likely refers to Caden (caden.io), a legitimate venture-backed data intelligence company. While the submission itself was of very low quality (hyperbolic claims, typos, lack of data), external verification confirms Caden has raised over $24M in Series A funding, employs 11-50 people, and offers a live product with significant traction (5.6K+ App Store reviews). The project scores highly on traction, utility, and market timing due to the demand for ethical data in the AI era, though the response quality score is severely penalized.
