The submission for Kazo.ai is extremely low quality and contains demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). While external verification confirms 'Kazo.ai' exists as an early-stage startup led by founder Tomi Johnson focusing on AI adoption for small businesses (featured in BFN Yearbook 2025), the submission itself provides no actionable data, uses a likely pseudonym ('SwiftGale'), and provides nonsensical metrics. The score reflects the existence of the project but penalizes the lack of evidence and the hyperbolic, unverifiable claims in the application.
