You're In Business

The submission for 'Kolide' (WhisperHeart) presents significant red flags regarding credibility and traction. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and an 'all time marketcap: 17000000' are unverifiable and appear hyperbolic for a local Sydney lifestyle guide. The project competes in a saturated market (Online Media) with no detailed technical innovation or business model provided. The response quality is poor, lacking specific metrics or verifiable data, resulting in a score reflecting minimal proven utility or traction.
