The submission describes Rockefeller Capital Management (RCM), a legitimate and massive wealth management firm ($190B+ AUM). However, the submission quality is critically low. The data provided includes outdated descriptions (2017), factually incorrect claims (audience is 'everyone', 'most people have used my product'), and nonsensical financial metrics ($300M market cap vs. real-world multi-billion valuation). While the entity itself has high utility and traction, the submission fails to accurately represent it or demonstrate specific technical innovation, resulting in a low score consistent with a low-effort or potentially spam entry.
