MindTheGap is a verified New Zealand advocacy campaign for pay gap reporting with high social relevance but minimal technical complexity. The project submission is of critically low quality, featuring hyperbolic and false claims regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While external search confirms the campaign has media presence and corporate signatories, the project lacks commercial revenue and functions as a basic web registry rather than a scalable technology product.
