You're In Business

Data@UCI is a legitimate university-level student organization providing educational utility to its members. However, the submission is severely penalized due to highly exaggerated, unverified, and inaccurate claims regarding audience reach ('everyone'), traction ('most people have used my product'), and financials ('all time marketcap: 2500000'). Its localized scope appropriately places it in the lower tier of global tech scalability.
