You're In Business

The project addresses a legitimate B2B retail problem but provides highly exaggerated and unverifiable claims (e.g., target audience is 'everyone', 'most people have used my product'). Technical details are vague, and revenue is confusingly stated as an 'all time marketcap: 500000'. The submission completely lacks the credible traction signals necessary for a positive evaluation.
