The project addresses a valid problem (food waste) with a logical solution (smart lockers), and the domain appears linked to a consulting portfolio. However, the submission is severely compromised by demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 50000'). There is no verifiable evidence of active user adoption or revenue scale to support the team size of 6, suggesting the project is either in a very early prototype stage or inactive.
