The project 'Finfactor' (finfactor.ai) exhibits significant red flags indicating a lack of legitimacy. The domain has no search index presence, contradicting the claim of a '101-250' person team and 2019 launch. The submission asserts 'most people have used my product', a demonstrable falsehood. With an empty description, vague audience targeting ('everyone'), and unverifiable revenue/market cap claims, the project scores near zero for lack of traction, utility, and verifiable footprint.
