The project 'Element 13' (Loud ML) was a legitimate open-source initiative around 2018-2019, offering a machine learning API for time series data (integrated with InfluxDB and Elasticsearch). However, the project appears to be abandoned, with the last major GitHub commit occurring 6 years ago (c. 2018) and the domain 'loudml.io' likely inactive. The submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', traction is 'most people'). While the underlying technology had merit at launch (300+ GitHub stars), it is now outdated, and the submission's lack of seriousness heavily penalizes the score.
