The project represents a verified offline rehabilitation program ('Seeds of Hope' by The Consortium, Inc.) rather than a technology product. While the organization has a 50+ year history and significant offline traction in Philadelphia (serving ~250k people historically), the submission is evaluated as a tech project where it lacks innovation and scalability. The submission contained significant exaggerations regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'), which negatively impacted the score despite the organization's legitimate social utility.
