Certified Problem Solver

Project submitted as 'SwiftForge' but URL and description confirm it is 'Realm' (realmhome.com), a Series A proptech company backed by GGV Capital. While the company has verified VC backing (~$15M) and a legitimate product, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product'), incorrect naming, and nonsensical metrics ('marketcap: 2500000'). The score reflects the underlying value of the Realm business entity, heavily penalized for the low-quality, unverifiable submission data.
