Dotty Delightful is a verified creative arts business operated by a solopreneur (Ruby Coupe) in the UK, offering zines, art, and mentoring. While the submission claims a team of 6 and 'marketcap' of 500,000, search results indicate a home-based micro-business (likely counting family members) with verifiable but modest traction on Etsy (~1,540 verified sales) and YouTube (~1.67K subscribers). The claim that 'most people have used my product' is hyperbolic and false. The project demonstrates valid niche utility in the wellness/arts sector but lacks technical innovation or significant scale fitting the 'technology project' criteria.
