The submission for 'StarForge' describes 'Filament AI' (filament.ai), a legitimate Series A UK-based private equity platform. While external verification confirms the project's high utility and significant traction (raising ~$8.8M), the submission quality is extremely poor (wrong name, false claims of 'everyone' reach, '0' team size). The low score reflects the lack of provided evidence and data integrity issues, despite the underlying project's real-world value.
