Project 'SignalRank' (submitted with erroneous data as 'GoldenKeeper') is a verifiable, VC-backed Series B investment platform founded by Keith Teare. External search confirms significant traction ($13M raised, 35 portfolio companies) and a valid 'pro-rata as a service' business model, contradicting the submission's low-quality, hallucinated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified market position, heavily penalized for the poor response quality.
