The submission relies on extreme hyperbole ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') with zero verifiable evidence. Providing 'Internet' as the only technology and conflating monthly revenue with an arbitrary 'marketcap' are significant red flags. While AI automation consulting is a highly relevant market, the complete lack of credible traction, technical detail, and low-effort responses result in a minimal score.
