The submission contains significant contradictions and hyperbolic claims that severely undermine credibility. While 'CodeBuds' exists as a legal entity in Bordeaux, public records indicate it is a non-employing unit (0 employees), contradicting the claim of a 30-person team. The revenue figure ('50,000 all time marketcap') is financially incompatible with the claimed team size. Furthermore, the traction claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a local IT agency. The description describes a service agency, but the project is named 'SwiftShade' without context, creating an incoherent proposal.
