You're In Business

The project 'Likha Careers' is a legitimate, recently founded (2023) recruitment agency in the Philippines, as verified by external search (65+ open job listings found). However, the submission itself is of critically poor quality, containing significant errors and hallucinations. Key red flags include: 1) The project name is listed as 'SwiftStone' while the description refers entirely to 'Likha Careers'. 2) 'Evidence of Traction' claims 'most people have used my product', which is factually impossible for a local B2B agency. 3) 'Monthly Revenue' claims a '750,000,000 marketcap', a metric that is nonsensical for a private startup of this size and likely fabricated or confused with currency (PHP vs USD). 4) The technology listed is 'Staffing', confirming this is a service business with no distinct technical innovation. The score reflects the existence of the business but heavily penalizes the lack of verifiable technical utility and the highly inaccurate submission data.
