You're In Business

The submission is disjointed and contains highly unrealistic, contradictory claims. The description points to a standard digital consultancy (Lightstrike), yet the project is named Arcard, claims 'everyone' as its audience, lists an impossible traction metric ('most people have used my product'), and nonsensically cites a 'marketcap' of 2,500,000 for monthly revenue. Due to the complete lack of verifiable evidence and low response quality, the submission incurs heavy penalties and a minimum quality multiplier.
