Global Cortex targets a relevant problem space (AI safety and video analytics) but suffers from an extreme lack of verifiable detail and heavily exaggerated claims. Assertions like 'most people have used my product' without active user data, combined with a '500000 marketcap' monthly revenue claim and mostly empty fields, reflect poorly on response quality and traction evidence. Due to the vague submission and zero verifiable traction, the project receives a minimal score.
