The submission presents a critical discrepancy: the project name 'SwiftForge' (associated with known employment scams) contradicts the description and URL, which belong to Cazoo, a UK car retailer. Cazoo Group entered administration in May 2024, and its inventory-led business model collapsed, with the brand subsequently sold to Motors.co.uk. The submission contains hyperbolic and false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). Due to the insolvency of the actual business described, the scam-associated project name, and the lack of verifiable current utility, the project receives a minimal score reflecting its failed status and the low integrity of the submission.
