Certified Problem Solver

Emerald Green Media is a verifiable and successful digital media agency based in Belfast, operating popular publishers like 'Ireland Before You Die' and 'Meanwhile in Ireland' with a combined social reach of over 1.7 million. While the project itself has significant real-world utility and traction (confirmed via external search), the submission quality was exceptionally poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing data ('marketcap: 50000'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, heavily penalized for the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the submission itself.
