Cyder (getcyder.com) is a verifiable early-stage fintech and loyalty platform for credit unions, having raised ~$1M+ CAD in pre-seed funding (late 2024). However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, inaccurately describing the primary business solely as 'cybersecurity' and making demonstrably false claims about reach ('most people have used my product'). Actual web traffic is approximately 10k monthly visits, placing it in the 'Minimal Traction' category (<50k users) rather than the universal reach claimed. The score is heavily penalized by the disconnect between the submission's hyperbolic claims and the verifiable reality.
