The submission confuses two distinct entities: 'Fortem International' (an event organizer, matching the URL) and 'Fortem Technologies' (a drone defense company, matching the 'space-technology' tag). The submission claims 'everyone' as the audience and that 'most people have used my product', which are demonstrable falsehoods. While Fortem International is a real operating business with revenue, it faces significant negative sentiment (BBB F rating, 'scam' allegations regarding contracts). The low score reflects the incoherence of the submission data, false traction claims, and the mixed reputation of the actual entity.
