The project 'Seeds of Success' (Project CARLA) appears to be a legitimate student-led nonprofit initiative based in Minnesota, focusing on mental health and student resources via an AI tool. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing significant errors such as categorizing the business as 'Native plant materials development' (likely confusing it with the federal BLM program of the same name) and making a patently false traction claim that 'most people have used my product.' While the organization has a verified team of student volunteers and some advocacy success (e.g., Minnesota free college legislation), the software product itself is in an early prototype/demo stage with minimal financial traction (<$1,000 raised in identified campaigns). The score reflects the early stage of development, the lack of verifiable software adoption, and the severe quality issues in the submission data.
