WorldData.AI is a legitimate data aggregation platform active since 2018, offering utility to researchers and economists. However, the submission contains significant exaggerations (claiming 'most people' have used it and 'everyone' is the audience) which contradict external evidence of niche B2B/academic traction (<50k estimated monthly visits). While the technical aggregation of 3.3 billion datasets is valuable, the poor submission quality and lack of verifiable high-growth metrics result in a score reflecting a 'small but functioning' project with minimal verified traction relative to the calibration benchmark.
