The project 'BeingIconic' presents significant credibility issues. Despite claiming a team size of 30 and a launch date of 2019, the project has no discernible digital footprint, no indexed website, and no professional presence on platforms like LinkedIn. The submission claims 'most people have used my product,' which is factually incorrect for a boutique consultancy, and cites a 'marketcap' of 500,000, which is an ambiguous and likely erroneous metric for a service business. The email address appears auto-generated. These factors suggest a lack of genuine market traction or a potentially fictitious submission.
