The submission appears to be a student referencing the University of Passau's Career Center (ZKK) rather than a unique technology project. The 'Launch Date' (1973) corresponds to the university's founding, and the description is standard institutional text. No custom technology, verifiable personal traction, or specific innovation was provided. The claims of audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are unsubstantiated and likely misattributed to the institution.
