Certified Problem Solver

Microphyt is a verifiable, well-funded (€28.5M+ Series B) French biotech company specializing in microalgae bioactives with significant partnerships (L'Oreal). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product'), confused financial metrics ('2500000 marketcap'), and generic descriptions. The score reflects the high intrinsic value and proven utility of the actual company, heavily penalized for the poor quality and inaccuracies of the submission data.
