Marx is a verifiable, CBSL-licensed fintech app in Sri Lanka active since 2020 (5+ years). While the submission is poor (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users), external search confirms legitimate operations, merchant adoption (30+ billers), and industry awards (National ICT Awards). The project has genuine utility as a financial aggregator but competes in a crowded local market. The score is buoyed by its regulatory status and longevity but capped by the exaggerated user reach claims and lack of unique technical differentiation.
