Lab Mode

While the project addresses a valid need in interview preparation through AI simulations, it contains massive red flags. The evidence of traction claims 'most people have used my product', which is highly exaggerated and unverifiable, and revenue is listed as a confused 'marketcap'. Due to these unsupported assertions and low response quality, the submission is heavily penalized, resulting in a negative overall score.
