Certified Problem Solver

Trade Brains is a verified, established financial education and analytics platform in India with ~36 employees and approximately $700k annual revenue (FY25). While the project has significant real-world utility and traction (millions of visitors), the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing critical data. The score reflects the project's verified market presence (comparable to the calibration reference but with lower revenue efficiency) heavily penalized by the low quality of the provided evidence.
