Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Deepnote' (submitted as 'ThunderShade') is a highly established, Series A funded collaborative data science platform with significant verifiable real-world utility and traction (funding from Index/Accel, users at Discord/Gusto). However, the specific submission provided contains extremely low-quality data (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product', generic descriptions). The evaluation scores the high value of the actual platform based on external verification (Series A status, hundreds of thousands of users) but heavily penalizes the 'Response Quality' and 'Evidence of Traction' quality factors due to the hyperbolic and unsupported claims in the input form.
