The submission for Forfend Health appears to be a copy-pasted job description rather than a project overview, severely impacting the evaluation of the product itself. While the company exists as an early-stage preventive care service using a third-party booking tool (SimplyBook.me), the submission contains a demonstrably false traction claim ('most people have used my product'). The project is in a relevant market (preventive health), but the lack of a custom platform (currently hiring to build it) and the low-quality submission result in a minimal score.
