The International Mentoring Program | St. Louis (IMSTL) is a verified 501(c)(3) non-profit connecting international women with local mentors to foster integration and cultural exchange. While the organization itself is legitimate with proven local impact (~650 participants since 2017) and backing from the St. Louis Mosaic Project, the project submission contains significant red flags indicative of a bot or low-quality entry (e.g., username 'DeepBlade', claims that 'most people have used my product', and invalid email format). The project has high social utility within its niche but lacks technical innovation and broad scalability. The score reflects the validity of the underlying organization severely penalized by the erratic and false claims in the submission form.
