The submission for 'Datavantage' presents significant red flags indicating a lack of legitimacy or a very early-stage conceptual phase with unrealistic claims. The URL 'datavantage.io' has no search engine footprint, contradicting the claim of a 125-person team and mass adoption ('most people have used my product'). The description relies on generic AI marketing buzzwords without specific technical details. The financial metric ('marketcap' instead of revenue) and audience definition ('everyone') demonstrate a lack of business seriousness. The project appears to be vaporware or a low-effort submission.
