Certified Problem Solver

Valera Health is a legitimate, Series B funded tele-mental health company with estimated annual revenue of ~$56M and over 1 million clinical visits, significantly exceeding the scale of the calibration reference. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false or lazy claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). While independent verification confirms high real-world utility and traction, the score is heavily penalized by the low Quality Factors assigned to the vague and unsupported submission details.
