Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Endgame' (endgame.io) is a legitimate, high-traction Series B startup ($47.5M funding) providing Product-Led Sales (PLS) observability and prioritization. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing significant hallucinations: it incorrectly categorizes the business as 'Endpoint security' (confusing it with the acquired Endgame Systems), cites a 2008 launch date (incorrect for the PLS tool), and provides nonsensical traction claims ('most people have used my product'). Despite the submission's poor credibility, the actual project demonstrates high utility, innovation, and verified market traction (customers like Figma, Retool), warranting a strong score that is heavily penalized for the submission's inaccuracies.
