The project 'Doorstep' (doorstep.ai) presents a concept for indoor delivery tracking but lacks verifiable existence. The domain does not appear in public search results, and the submission contains demonstrably false claims regarding traction (e.g., 'most people have used my product' with no supporting data). While the problem of last-mile indoor tracking is real, the absence of a functional product, website, or credible evidence results in a near-zero score.

Description
Doorstep.ai provides a visual guidance platform that uses AI and smartphone sensors to offer precise indoor tracking for last-mile deliveries. The technology aims to reduce delivery failures, disputes, and fraud by creating a verifiable timeline of delivery events, such as entering a building, using elevators, and reaching a specific floor or doorstep. This offers an alternative to traditional GPS, which often struggles indoors.
