You're In Business

The submission represents a traditional local funeral home in Kaitaia, New Zealand, rather than a scalable technology project. While the service has high real-world utility for its specific community, the submission contains factual inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and listing 'Education Management' as the technology). There is no evidence of technical innovation or digital scalability. The 'marketcap' figure likely refers to local business revenue or valuation but is presented confusingly. This project scores low on a technology-focused evaluation due to lack of global reach, digital innovation, and verifiable traction data.
