Category Standard

The project 'GoldenStorm' is identified as Eppo (geteppo.com), a legitimate and high-traction Series B experimentation platform founded by Chetan Sharma (ex-Airbnb). While the submission text is of extremely low quality (e.g., 'technologies used: leadership', 'traction: most people'), the underlying business is verified as a significant player in the data infrastructure market with ~$50M in funding and a valuation estimated around $225M (matching the submission's 'marketcap' claim). The score reflects the company's strong real-world utility, verifiable B2B traction, and market timing, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Traction Evidence' quality factors due to the poor submission details.
