You're In Business

Found InAI addresses a highly relevant and emerging market need (AEO/LLM visibility), demonstrating excellent market timing. However, the submission suffers heavily from hyperbolic and unsupported claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'), alongside nonsensical financial metrics for a service business ('all time marketcap: 500000'). Without concrete evidence of scale, it scores firmly in the minimal traction tier.
