The submission contains a critical incoherence: the project name and URL refer to 'Eclipse Foods' (a Series B plant-based dairy company), but the description is a job posting for 'Qwally' (a government software startup). The claims of traction ('most people have used my product') are demonstrably false for either entity. Due to these severe data integrity red flags and the inability to evaluate a hallucinated combination of two distinct companies, the score is heavily penalized, reflecting the invalid nature of the submission.
