The submission contains significant data integrity issues and contradictions. The description claims the project is in the 'Alternative Lending Industry' (cascadedebt.com), but the business type ('Materials Handling Products'), launch date (1943), and team size (1,700) appear to be copied from Cascade Corporation, a completely different manufacturing entity. Additionally, claims that 'most people have used my product' and the audience is 'everyone' are hyperbolic and unverifiable. Technical details are entirely missing.
