The project 'Brain Racers' presents an edutainment concept aiming to gamify cognitive training. However, the submission is severely undermined by the claim that 'most people have used my product,' which contradicts the reported team size (1-10) and null revenue. Verifiable external traction is absent. While the concept of a 'cognitive MMO' has potential utility, the lack of realistic metrics, technical details, and the hyperbolic traction claim suggests an early-stage or conceptual project with minimal current market footprint.

Description
We are building a digital entertainment company to celebrate brain athletes, like we do physical athletes in the world. Centered around a core MMO cognitive race, where players from all walks of life can come race, and showcase their cognitive abilities.\n\nIn a 'brain race', players have to complete a series of challenges that engage their core mental skills and basic knowledge.\n\nCore mental skills include focus, flexibility, attention to detail, processing speed, and memory, fundamental brain components of life.\n\nBasic knowledge assesses English, math, science, and general knowledge, the building blocks of further education.\n\nWe will create the 'Michael Jordan' of mind sports, through an epic game and entertaining game show that celebrates brain performance.
