Certified Problem Solver

Goldcast is a verifiable, high-growth Series A B2B event platform with significant market presence (approx. 200+ employees, raised ~$28M). However, the specific project submission provided is extremely low-quality, containing hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). While the underlying business has high utility and traction, the score is heavily penalized due to the lack of verifiable evidence in the submission itself and the inaccurate descriptions of the target audience.
