You're In Business

SonTa Foundation is a verified, legitimate NGO in Vietnam with significant real-world impact (approx. 20,000 beneficiaries and international operations in Tanzania). However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 17000000' likely refers to an endowment in USD or a mislabeled figure). While the organization itself demonstrates high utility and commendable traction in the non-profit sector, the project submission lacks professional detail and technical innovation, significantly dampening the final score.
