The project addresses a legitimate B2B market need (M&A support) and claims a significant team size (30), which are positive signals. However, the submission contains severe credibility issues that heavily impact the score. Specifically, the traction claim 'most people have used my product' is objectively false for a niche platform, and audience reach defined as 'everyone' demonstrates a lack of market focus. Additionally, listing 'marketcap' in the monthly revenue field indicates a misunderstanding of key financial metrics. While the concept is sound, the lack of verifiable evidence and low-quality data entry results in a 'Minimal Traction' classification.
