The submission for 'Flow' (proflow.ai) presents significant red flags. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a two-person startup launched in 2021 with no digital footprint or revenue. Search queries for the domain and project name yield zero results, indicating the project is either nonexistent or in a pre-alpha stage with no public visibility. The discrepancy between the traction claims and reality results in a negative score.
