The project appears to be a rebranding of a standard plumbing/drainage service ('SewerTech') into a 'climate intelligence platform' ('FLOW') without verifiable evidence of the software technology described. The domain 'flowenviroserv.com' does not appear in standard search indices, suggesting a lack of digital presence. Critical 'red flags' include the hyperbolic claim that 'most people have used my product' (demonstrably false for a niche B2B service) and the misuse of financial terms ('all time marketcap: 500000'). While the underlying service (drain maintenance) has utility, the submission fails to validate the tech platform, scalability, or audience claims.
