Category Standard

The Chesapeake Conservancy is a high-value, established non-profit (50+ staff, founded 2006) leveraging precision conservation technology. While the organization itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and technical innovation (GIS/AI), the submission quality was poor, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product') and incorrect tags ('health-and-wellness'). The score reflects the strong fundamentals of the entity, penalized significantly for the low-quality and inaccurate submission data.
