You're In Business

The submission contains highly contradictory claims. It states the company engages exclusively in autarkic activities without customers or products, yet the submitter claims 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people have used my product'. With no verifiable public traction or tangible products, the project scores very low across all impact and traction metrics.
