While the project addresses a valid need in customer feedback analysis using ML, the submission is severely undermined by vague and highly exaggerated claims. Statements such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience reach of 'everyone' lack verifiable evidence. Combined with a confusing revenue metric ('all time marketcap: 2500000') and poor response quality, the project demonstrates minimal verifiable traction.

Description

While part of the original GitKraken team, the founders of Hashback found themselves drowning in the enormous volume of customer feedback the product received. With no lifeboat in sight, in true hacker fashion, if you can't find the tool you need, you build your own. By utilizing the recent advances in machine learning, Hashback provides an accurate analysis of your customer feedback whether your team receives 10 or 10,000 emails a day.
