You're In Business

The conceptual utility of reducing food waste is valid, but the submission contains severe red flags. The technological description is overly vague ('Internet'), traction claims are highly improbable ('most people have used my product'), and financial metrics are confusing ('all time marketcap: 500000'). These unsubstantiated claims result in minimal scores across traction, reach, and technical innovation, placing the project firmly in the 'minimal traction' calibration bracket.
