The submission describes 'at{mine}', a home decor platform acquired by Gruner+Jahr in 2017. While the project has verifiable historical traction (acquisition), the submission itself is of extremely low quality and lacks credibility. The submitter provides vague or false data (e.g., 'most people have used my product', technology listed only as 'Internet'), suggesting either impersonation or a lack of serious intent. Consequently, the score reflects the historical validity of the project heavily discounted by the red flags and poor quality of the submission.
