Certified Problem Solver

The project references 'Dianthus', the parent company (Dianthus Commerce) that acquired the established brand 'Cuddle Clones' in 2022. While Cuddle Clones is a verifiable success with >$7M annual revenue and over 100,000 customers (significantly exceeding the HackerNoon baseline), the submission itself is of extremely low quality. Claims like 'everyone' for audience and 'most people have used my product' are demonstrably false hyperbole. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals (Real-World Utility, Traction) heavily penalized by the 'Quality Factor' due to the lazy, inaccurate, and automated-looking submission.
