The submission conflates two distinct billion-dollar entities: Lucid (a ResTech/survey platform at luc.id) and Lucid Motors (an EV manufacturer). The description and URL belong to the ResTech company, while the team size, launch date, business type, and revenue figures belong to the EV manufacturer. Additionally, the claim 'most people have used my product' is verifiable false for both B2B entities. Due to these critical incoherencies and red flags, the submission scores very low despite the high real-world success of the underlying companies referenced.
