The project appears to be a small, regionally-based IT consultancy rather than the global entity described. Critical red flags exist in the submission data: claiming 'everyone' as the audience and stating 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a niche B2B service firm. Furthermore, the reported team size (30) is mathematically incompatible with the stated 'all time marketcap' (likely revenue) of 500,000 over 7 years, suggesting either data error or gross exaggeration.
