Gaining Momentum

FBO Biz identifies a clear B2B need in government contracting. However, the submission relies on heavily vague and hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'). A severe lack of verifiable traction, ambiguous active user metrics, and a low-effort technical description significantly reduce the PoU score despite the relevant market.
