The submission for 'Acoru' lacks verifiable evidence of existence, operation, or traction. While the described problem (financial fraud/mule accounts) is significant, the project appears to be in a conceptual stage or non-existent, evidenced by the lack of search footprint, a team size of '0', and the clearly erroneous claim that 'most people have used my product'. The submission quality is low, containing contradictory and placeholder data.
