The project 'Lix' (lix-it.com) is a functional B2B LinkedIn data extraction tool, but the submission is marred by hyperbolic claims and confusing metrics. While the core utility is real, the claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false, and 'all time marketcap: 50000' is an incoherent revenue metric. External verification suggests the tool has roughly 4,000 users (Chrome Web Store), placing it in the 'Minimal Traction' tier (<50k users). The submission is heavily penalized for low response quality and lack of verifiable evidence.
