Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Designerrs Academy' (incorrectly submitted as 'DeepFang') is a verifiable and established UI/UX design training institute in India with significant traction (7k+ learners, ~87 employees). Despite the submission containing severe data quality issues (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null'), independent verification confirms a solid business model with high real-world utility and revenue potential likely exceeding the reference benchmark. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, penalized heavily for the poor quality of the submission data.
