Gaining Momentum

CellNinja addresses a high-value niche problem (legal cell record analysis) with verified domain expertise (patents, carrier experience). However, the submission is marred by hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the reported $500k financial metric suggests a viable small business, the lack of professional accuracy in the submission and the niche nature of the product significantly cap the score compared to mass-market or high-growth tech entities.
