The submission for 'Akela Consulting' (listed as 'DeepForge' in the name field) presents significant red flags. The URL lacks a discoverable digital footprint, contradicting the claim of a 30-person team and $2.5M valuation. The evidence of traction ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false for a niche B2B consulting firm. Furthermore, the project appears to be a service business with no described technical implementation. Due to the lack of verifiable data, inconsistent details, and unrealistic claims, the project receives a minimal score.
