DataGPT (formerly Comparative) is a legitimate, venture-backed ($12M+) AI analytics platform with estimated annual revenue of ~$1.4M. Despite the submission's low quality and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), independent research verifies strong B2B traction with clients like Plex and Mino Games. The project utilizes proprietary technology ('Lightning Cache') distinguishing it from generic SQL wrappers. The score reflects strong technical and financial fundamentals, dampened significantly by the submitter's poor response quality and the 'Audience Reach' constraints relative to mass-market benchmarks.
