Gaining Momentum

The project 'Clarity, for Charities' (giveclarity.co) is a verifiable but niche SaaS platform for non-profit community management, distinct from the larger 'Giveclarity.org' consultancy. While the software exists and demonstrates real-world utility for charities (e.g., donor portals, impact tracking), the submission suffers from critical quality issues, including factually false claims about traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). These exaggerations, combined with a lack of verifiable financial or user data, heavily penalize the score despite the legitimate nature of the underlying technology.

Description
We believe in transparent giving.\n\nClarity is a technology company that creates internal communities for Non-Profit Organizations. These communities - which can be set up by organizations of any size - allow donors and beneficiaries to connect in a more direct way (with organizational moderation). This type of internal community provides further transparency into the charitable activities of non-profit organizations.\n\nWe’re on a mission to make giving more collaborative by providing better insights into charitable activities so that beneficiaries, donors, and organizations can monitor their impact, with Clarity.\n\nUltimately, Clarity reduces donor churn.
