The submission exhibits severe red flags. Claims of traction ('most people have used my product') are impossible and unverified. The technical stack is listed absurdly as 'Internet', and monthly revenue cites an 'all time marketcap' of 2,500,000, suggesting a dubious crypto token rather than a legitimate SaaS business. Minimal effort in response quality and completely unverified data warrant a sub-zero score.
