The submission appears to be a 'Frankenstein' entry, conflating multiple distinct entities named 'Eres'. The URL (eres.io) points to a small, early-stage social ad management tool with minimal digital footprint. However, the claimed team size (157) and business type ('Profit sharing') align with 'Eres Group', a large French financial consultancy (eres-group.com), while the traction claim ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false and potentially conflated with global social networks. The project lacks verifiable traction, and the submission contains significant inaccuracies and red flags.
