Category Standard

Project 'StarShade' is identified as Nursa, a prominent healthcare staffing platform (Series B, ~$100M funding). The submission contains significant inaccuracies (name mismatch, 'everyone' audience, exaggerated 'most people' traction claim) which lowered the Quality Factors. However, verified external data confirms Nursa is a high-utility, high-revenue ($142M+ est.) entity addressing critical nursing shortages, justifying a high score despite the poor submission quality.
