Gaining Momentum

Impakter is a legitimate, long-running sustainability platform (est. 2014) with a verified ecosystem encompassing news, a startup hub, and an index. However, the project submission is of very low quality, containing demonstrably false claims such as 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone.' While the platform has genuine utility and partnerships (e.g., connections to UN SDG initiatives), its actual digital footprint is niche (likely <50k monthly visits based on search rank) compared to the exaggerated claims. The score reflects a penalty for the misleading submission while acknowledging the project's real-world longevity and valid mission.
