The submission describes an engineering consultancy with extremely broad and unverifiable claims ('everyone' as audience, 'most people have used my product'). The stated financial metric ('marketcap: 500000') is ambiguous and likely low for a 6-person team operating since 2019. The lack of specific case studies, verifiable custom technology, or professional details results in a low score consistent with early-stage or hobbyist projects lacking concrete traction evidence.
