The submission references a reputable institution (University of Patras) but contains disqualifying data anomalies. The project name 'SwiftFang' appears to be a personal handle unrelated to the description. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and a nonsensical market cap are demonstrably false. The description is generic boilerplate about university goals rather than a specific product. This is assessed as a low-quality or test submission.
