Certified Problem Solver

Malga is a verified high-growth payment orchestration platform in Brazil (Series A, ~$10M+ funding, $684M+ TPV). The project demonstrates high real-world utility by solving payment fragmentation for merchants. However, the submission itself is of critically low quality, featuring typos, vague claims ('everyone'), and a lack of specific data. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and market relevance, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the application evidence.
