The project submission for 'Kai Connect' suffers from significant credibility issues, primarily due to hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and audience is 'everyone') that contradict the verifiable digital footprint. The domain 'kaiconnect.co.za' suggests a South African focus, yet search results show minimal to no web presence. The financial metrics confuse revenue with 'marketcap' and lack currency specification, while the team size of 30 is unsupported by the lack of online evidence. The project appears to be a service-based ESG consultancy rather than a technology product, resulting in low innovation and traction scores.
