The submission contains numerous red flags and absurd claims (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', evidence of traction 'most people have used my product', and revenue stated as 'all time marketcap: 2500000'). While the underlying company, Cohort Science, targets a real-world problem in higher education, the data provided in this submission is highly suspicious, unsubstantiated, and lacks any coherent technical or business detail. This triggers the 'red flags' calibration, resulting in a sub-zero score.
