You're In Business

The project refers to the Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID), a verifiable and significant economic initiative in Scotland. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, submitted by a pseudonym ('CrimsonFang') with blatantly false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). While the real-world entity is high-value (~£4bn ecosystem), the submission fails to provide verifiable evidence and relies on spam-like responses. The score reflects the existence of the real project but heavily penalizes the poor and potentially inauthentic submission.
