The submission for 'Image Machine' (DeepForge) lacks verifiable data and contains significant red flags. The URL 'imagemachine.org' does not appear to be an active, indexed website. The traction claim ('most people have used my product') is hyperbolic and demonstrably false for an unindexed project. With no specific technical details, evidence of users, or business metrics, the project falls into the category of a placeholder or low-quality submission with no proven utility.
