Certified Problem Solver

Pantry Food Co is a verified cannabis edibles brand (founded 2019) with estimated annual revenue of ~$3M and ~25 employees, significantly smaller than the 350 employees and 'everyone' reach claimed in the submission. While the business demonstrates solid real-world utility and market relevance in the wellness/cannabis sector, the submission suffers from low accuracy and exaggeration. The project is a CPG business rather than a technology innovation, resulting in a low technical score.
