You're In Business

The project 'Merkano' presents as a B2B telecommunications brokerage established in 2015. However, the submission contains significant red flags and unverifiable claims. The statement that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a niche consultancy with no significant digital footprint. The financial metric ('marketcap: 500000') is ambiguous and low for a 9-year-old entity. The lack of specific technical innovation and the exaggerated nature of the response result in a minimal score, reflecting a lack of verifiable traction and realistic impact.
