Certified Problem Solver

Talenox is a well-established HR/Payroll SaaS operating in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia since 2014, with estimated annual revenue of ~$2.5M and a team of ~30-50. Despite the project's verifiable success and strong market utility, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing hallucinated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and missing data. The score reflects the high real-world value of the business, significantly penalized for the lack of credible input evidence.
