The project 'iwi.earth' presents a standard gig-economy concept with a 0% commission model but fails to provide credible evidence of viability or traction. The submission contains hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and confusing metrics ('marketcap: 50000' listed as revenue). Search results indicate the entity exists as a small UK-registered startup but is virtually invisible online, heavily overshadowed by unrelated brands. The claimed team size of 125 contradicts the low valuation and lack of digital footprint, suggesting 'users' may be misclassified as 'team'. The lack of technical detail and the unrealistic self-assessment result in a very low PoU score.
