The project addresses a significant safety issue (black ice) but displays severe red flags indicating it is not a functional business. The website contains visible 'Lorem Ipsum' placeholder text, the revenue field cites a 'marketcap' suggesting a potential crypto token or confusion, and the traction claim ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false for a niche infrastructure solution. The submission lacks verifiable technical details or a realistic go-to-market strategy.
