The submission describes 'Glossi' (a 3D rendering SaaS) but provides metrics, launch dates, and business classifications for 'Glossier' (a $1.2B beauty brand). This severe identity confusion and the falsification of traction data ('most people have used my product', '$1.2B marketcap') result in a critical penalty. While the underlying 3D technology (Glossi.io) appears to be a real, early-stage tool with promise, the submission itself lacks credibility due to these major data integrity errors.
