Certified Problem Solver

Ken Research is a legitimate, established market research firm (founded 2007) with verifiable traction (60+ employees, estimated $1M-$5M+ annual revenue). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business is financially solid and comparable to or exceeding the calibration baseline in revenue, the lack of specific evidence and the exaggerated claims in the input data significantly penalize the final score.
