The project 'Laeka' appears to be a legitimate early-stage French PetTech startup (Laeka.io) focusing on IoT smart collars and blockchain-based health data. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies and hyperbole that severely impact the score. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false (Google Play shows 50+ downloads), and 'marketcap: 500000' is likely a confusion of terms or a small token valuation. While the underlying technology (smart collar with health sensors) has potential utility and has received minor industry recognition (IFA Berlin, CCI Paris), the verifiable traction is minimal (<100 users). The name 'WhisperHeart' does not appear to be associated with the public brand and may be an error. The project falls into the 'Minimal Traction' category.
