The submission for American Public Safety presents significant credibility gaps. While the concept of a retail storefront for public safety professionals has inherent utility, the project lacks a verifiable digital footprint, as the provided URL yields no search results. The claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are demonstrably false or highly exaggerated. Furthermore, the reported financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000') are inconsistent with a claimed team size of 30 staff members over 5 years. The submission lacks technical innovation and response quality is extremely low.
