The submission for Lucius Global presents significant contradictions and red flags. While the description outlines a B2B sales organization for high-tech photonics, the audience claim ('everyone') and traction claim ('most people have used my product') are hyperbolic and factually inconsistent with a specialized B2B model. Additionally, the revenue field cites an 'all time marketcap' of 500,000, suggesting confusion with cryptocurrency metrics or a misunderstanding of business fundamentals. With no verifiable evidence of the claimed ubiquity and a low-quality submission, the project scores very low on the PoU scale.
