Certified Problem Solver

WAPA (World Apple and Pear Association) is a legitimate, established international trade body (founded 2001) providing critical data (Prognosfruit) to the global fruit industry. However, the project submission is of very low quality, containing significant errors: 'marketcap' of 12.5M likely refers to apple production tonnage (approx 10-12M tons/year) rather than financial value, and the 'everyone' audience claim is imprecise. While the entity itself has high real-world utility and traction, the submission's vagueness and inaccuracies warrant significant penalties to the score.
