The submission for Lightyear Strategies contains significant red flags, including hyperbolic and verifiable false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). While the domain exists and relates to Public Relations, the project appears to be a small consultancy rather than the scalable SaaS tool described. The lack of technical detail, null metrics, and low-quality response result in a minimal score, reflecting a lack of credible evidence for utility or market presence.
