SEP (sep.nu) is a legitimate, long-standing non-profit organization ('Stichting Educatieve Projecten') providing cultural and art education to primary schools in Amsterdam since 2005. However, the submission itself contains significant falsehoods and red flags, including a claimed team size of 10,001 (reality: ~15 staff + freelancers), a target audience of 'everyone' (reality: local schools), and a traction claim that 'most people have used my product'. While the underlying entity has real-world utility and a 20-year history, the submission quality is extremely low and factually unreliable, resulting in a heavily penalized score.
