The submission contains numerous red flags and lacks verifiable traction. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' are statistically improbable for an unknown studio, and the target audience of 'everyone' indicates a lack of market focus. With empty active user fields and an irrelevant financial metric ('all time marketcap: 500000') instead of standard revenue, the project receives a minimal PoU score reflecting vague claims and unproven utility.
