Project Violet is a verifiable, high-potential Brazilian climate finance platform backed by significant entities like CPI Lab and Natura. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing hallucinated traction claims ('most people have used my product') and inaccurate reach data ('everyone'). While the project's real-world utility and market timing are excellent (focused on deforestation-free financing), the PoU score is heavily penalized by the submission's lack of credible evidence and the project's early stage (2024 launch, minimal user base). Validated external data confirms the project's legitimacy but highlights the disparity between the actual business and this specific submission.
