The submission describes a valid B2B retail technology concept (AisleFire) but is critically undermined by hyperbolic, unverifiable, and contradictory input data. While the core problem (slip/fall safety and shopper analytics) has real-world utility, the claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a specialized B2B solution. Furthermore, the reported financial metric ('market cap: 500000') is incompatible with the claimed team size of 30, suggesting either massive data inaccuracy or a non-viable business structure. The discrepancy between the professional project description and the amateurish input fields ('whosItFor: everyone') results in a minimal score.
