The project refers to a valid early-stage startup, 'Artificial Brain', operating in the quantum computing software space with a product named 'Planck' (not 'StarRider' as submitted). While the underlying technology (quantum optimization for energy/defense) is high-potential and backed by the Duality Accelerator, the submission quality is extremely poor. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone' are demonstrably false for a B2B niche startup, resulting in significant penalties to the Traction and Response Quality scores.
