Lab Mode

The submission for 'Bates Energy' presents significant red flags, including unverifiable and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' for a company with $500k claimed market cap). The description is extremely vague ('Computer Software'), and the domain lacks a substantial digital footprint or verifiable business operations. The response quality is poor, suggesting either a lack of seriousness or a non-existent project.
