EthicalbyDesign addresses a highly relevant and timely issue in AI ethics, but the submission contains severe red flags. Claims of reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are significantly exaggerated and unsupported. The stated technology ('Think Tanks') lacks technical depth, productization, or scalability. Due to vague, unverifiable metrics and highly unrealistic statements, the project falls into the lowest evaluation tier with minimal verifiable traction.
