The submission identifies 'Earny' with the URL 'earny.ch', which corresponds to a legitimate Swiss HRTech/Payroll startup acquired by ServiceHunter (quitt Business) in 2025. However, the submission data contains significant hallucinations, conflating this company with the US-based price protection app 'Earny' (citing 'Price protection', 'Launch 2016', and 'StarSpirit'). While the actual Swiss business demonstrated verifiable utility and traction (acquisition, Seed funding, Swissdec certification), the submission quality is extremely low, providing false reach claims ('everyone', 'most people') and conflicting details. The score reflects the real-world success of the acquired entity, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and low-quality submission.
