Certified Problem Solver

Linggo is a verified, high-utility AAC platform addressing critical communication needs for non-verbal individuals, backed by a team of ~30 and established in 2019. However, the project submission itself is of very poor quality, featuring inaccurate claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone', traction is 'most people') and a name mismatch ('LunarForge' vs 'Linggo'). While independent research confirms the legitimacy and value of the technology (medical device status, ACE provider), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the input.
