The project submits highly improbable claims ('most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone') with no verifiable evidence. The core concept of applying ML to 5G MIMO small-cells has theoretical utility, but the lack of custom technology details and confusion over basic business metrics ('monthlyRevenue: all time marketcap: 500000') result in extremely low traction and quality scores.
