The submission contains critical red flags, including unverifiable and hyperbolic claims of traction ('most people have used my product'). Missing active user data paired with a vague reference to a 500,000 'marketcap' strongly suggests a low-effort token project rather than a verifiable software tool. Quality multipliers were penalized across the board due to vague and completely unsubstantiated claims.
