You're In Business

The submission describes 'Think East Netherlands', a verifiable and legitimate regional innovation platform supported by Oost NL and government partners. However, the submission itself ('GoldenGale') is of extremely low quality, containing inaccurate claims (audience reach of 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). While the underlying organization has high real-world utility for regional development, the lack of technical innovation and the poor quality of the submission data severely penalize the score.
