You're In Business

The submission for 'Edvard Industries' (or 'StarClaw') presents a project in early conceptual stages with significant red flags. The description is incoherent ('looking for the business') and naming is inconsistent. Crucially, the claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false given the lack of any digital footprint for the brand or its subsidiaries (PINBALI). There is no evidence of a functional product, revenue, or user base. The project scores extremely low on traction, reach, and technical detail.
