You're In Business

The submission for 'Improve Ranking' (labeled 'WhisperKeeper') presents significant red flags, including a mismatch between the project name and description, and demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). While the agency likely exists as a small local business, the technical implementation is listed merely as 'Internet', and the 'marketcap' metric is misused. The lack of verifiable evidence, combined with exaggerated claims and poor submission quality, results in a minimal score reflecting low credibility and utility verification.
