Category Standard

The project 'Platform Commons' is a verified, high-impact non-profit initiative (Platform Commons Foundation) with significant reach (5M+ beneficiaries) and government partnerships in India. It builds Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for societal good. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, featuring exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product'), confusing financial data ('marketcap'), and a user handle ('MysticStone') unrelated to the organization's leadership. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction of the underlying organization, heavily penalized by the poor quality and potential identity uncertainty of the submission.
