Category Standard

Capital Markets Gateway (CMG) is a verified, high-traction Series C fintech modernizing equity capital markets with over $62M in funding and adoption by major global banks. However, the submission itself contained low-quality, inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), which significantly penalized the Quality Factors. The score reflects the project's immense real-world value and verified institutional scale, dampened by the poor evidence provided in the entry.
