The submission references ClearStory Data, a legitimate analytics company founded in 2011 and acquired by Alteryx in 2019. However, the submission itself contains significant red flags indicating low quality or spam: the submitter name 'GoldenFang', the demonstrably false claim that 'most people have used my product', and a lack of current metrics. While the underlying technology was once innovative, the project is no longer active as a standalone entity, and the submission fails to provide verifiable evidence of current utility or traction.
