The submission describes 'Apps and Mortar', a B2B digital transformation consultancy, but contains significant inconsistencies. While external validation confirms the agency exists with a history of IoT projects (circa 2016-2017), the submission claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') are demonstrably false for a niche consultancy. The 'marketcap: 50000' metric contradicts the claimed team size of 30, and the mismatch between Project Name ('Apps and Mortar') and Name ('LunarBlade') suggests a copy-paste error. The project appears to be a small, possibly dormant business with low current traction.
