You're In Business

The project addresses a valuable real-world problem in precision agriculture with a solid conceptual description, but the submission contains exaggerated, highly contradictory claims regarding reach ('everyone'), traction ('most people have used my product'), and technical implementation ('Internet'). Lack of verifiable data and realistic metrics results in a low score.
