Certified Problem Solver

The European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) is a verified, significant entity in the global research community (est. 2010), boasting over 250,000 members and 200 annual conferences. While the project possesses high real-world utility and reach, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and vague financial data ('marketcap' for a non-profit). The score reflects the organization's actual established status (comparable to or exceeding the calibration reference) heavily discounted by the poor quality of evidence provided.
