You're In Business

The project is a local brick-and-mortar optometry and sports vision business rather than a scalable technology platform. While it provides high real-world utility in its specific geography (Louisville), the submission fails to demonstrate technical innovation or broad audience reach. The claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and reach ('everyone') are hyperbolic and unverifiable, resulting in low quality factors. The submission lacks specific metrics on revenue or active users, placing it in the lowest tier of the calibration scale.
