The submission describes a long-standing freelance translation business (Lorenzo Martinelli) rather than a scalable technology project. While the business has verifiable longevity (established ~1985) and credibility in technical sectors, the submission contains significant red flags and hyperbole (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' have used the product). The 'market cap' figure likely conflates lifetime earnings or word count with company valuation. As a non-technical, service-based SME in a sector heavily disrupted by AI, it scores low on the Proof of Usefulness scale designed for tech innovation, despite being a legitimate livelihood.
