The project represents a legitimate academic initiative (Digital Health Lab at University College Roosevelt), but the submission is severely compromised by unrealistic and unverifiable claims. Specifically, the claim that 'most people have used my product' and an 'everyone' audience reach are factually incorrect for a regional research lab. Additionally, listing 'marketcap' for a research entity suggests a confusion of terms or lack of seriousness. While the underlying entity has real-world utility in a research context, the lack of verifiable traction and the poor quality of the submission data result in a low score.
