You're In Business

The project 'Mobile Beacon' is a legitimate, high-impact nonprofit service providing broadband to community institutions, verified via external search. However, the submission itself (under the name 'GoldenKeeper') is of extremely low quality, containing nonsensical tags (e.g., 'Pharmaceuticals'), a likely confused revenue figure ('marketcap: 2500000'), and demonstrably false/exaggerated traction claims ('most people have used my product'). While the entity is real and useful, the submission fails to provide credible evidence, resulting in a low score driven by heavy Quality Factor penalties.
