The submission represents 'Artifex.it', a legitimate but small Italian web/IoT consultancy (Ing. Paolo Betti), yet the data provided is highly incoherent. The project name 'ShadowHunter' is likely a pseudonym or unrelated reference (possibly confusing it with a popular mobile game). Claims of 'most people' having used the product are demonstrably false. The financial metric ('marketcap: 500000') uses incorrect terminology and lacks currency, making it unverifiable. The submission suffers from severe lack of detail and exaggerated claims, resulting in a minimal score despite the underlying legitimacy of the consultant's domain.
