The project 'Fuzzy - The Pet Parent Company' was a real venture-backed startup (raised ~$80M) that officially shut down in June 2023 due to insolvency. The submission contains multiple red flags and factually incorrect claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and nonsensical revenue data. The original service offers no current utility as the platform is defunct, and the domain appears to be either inactive or repurposed for low-quality commerce. The submission score is heavily penalized for the 'dead' status of the project and the deceptive nature of the input data.
