Industry Mainstay

Project 'Levo' (levo.ai) is a verified, high-potential Series A API security company with significant market traction (~$14M funding, enterprise customers like Square/AngelOne). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hallucinations (e.g., 'Business Type: Spendable investment platform') and false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'). The evaluation scores the high-value reality of the entity while applying maximum penalties to the 'Response Quality' and 'Evidence of Traction' credibility factors due to the submission's inaccuracies.
