The project targets a valid industrial niche but provides contradictory and unsubstantiated claims. Listing 'everyone' as the target audience for a B2B steelmaking AI solution, claiming 'most people have used my product', and providing an arbitrary 'marketcap' instead of standard revenue metrics strongly indicates minimal actual traction and severely lowers overall credibility.
