Gaining Momentum

The project addresses a legitimate B2B need in the marine analytics sector with a strong stated feature set, but the submission is severely undermined by hyperbolic, contradictory, and nonsensical claims. Assertions that the audience is 'everyone,' the technology used is simply 'Internet,' and 'most people have used my product' for a highly specialized marine engineering tool warrant heavy penalties via the quality factor multiplier.
