You're In Business

The submission describes 'La Chocolatrice', a verified and successful physical chocolate business in Durham, UK, founded in 2019. However, the project is submitted to a technology evaluation platform with significant data quality issues, including the incorrect project name 'SwiftClaw' and a claim that 'most people have used my product'. While the business itself has verifiable local traction, revenue, and social reach (67k+ followers), it is not a technology project and lacks technical innovation. The submission form contains exaggerated reach claims and misused financial terminology ('marketcap' for probable cumulative revenue).
