The project 'HiQ Africa' presents as a concept for FMCG digitization but lacks any verifiable external footprint. The domain 'hiq.africa' has no significant search results or accessible application, contradicting the claim that 'most people have used my product'. With 'null' revenue, undefined team size, and an 'everyone' audience target, the submission appears to be a placeholder or very early-stage idea with no evidence of traction or technical implementation.
