Sounding Board Labs

Project identified as 'Sounding Board Inc', a legitimate Series B leadership coaching platform acquired by BTS Group in March 2025. External verification confirms high traction ($7M-$25M estimated revenue, ~138 employees, significant funding), which justifies a high baseline score significantly above the calibration reference. However, the submission uses an incorrect name ('GoldenForge'), contains hallucinatory traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and nonsensical financial data. The final score rewards the verifiable real-world success of the underlying company but applies heavy penalties to the 'Evidence of Traction' and 'Response Quality' metrics due to the unreliable submission data.
