Certified Problem Solver

The submission for 'Monument' contains severe inaccuracies (Business Type listed as 'Gold Mining', false traction claim 'most people have used my product', generic 'everyone' audience). However, external verification confirms 'joinmonument.com' is a legitimate, high-utility alcohol treatment platform that raised ~$22M (Series A) and serves >100,000 users. The project scores high on real-world utility and verified traction, but the score is heavily penalized due to the extremely poor quality of the submission data, which suggests a bot or low-effort entry.
