The submission outlines an agency model with theoretical utility but is severely undermined by low-effort, exaggerated, and unverifiable claims ('most people have used my product', audience of 'everyone', technology 'Internet'). These red flags and lack of verifiable traction result in heavy penalties, placing the project in the minimal traction/red flag category.
