The project 'Modguard' presents a significant disconnect between its description (Enterprise AI security) and its traction claims ('most people have used my product'). While a company of this name was mentioned in a 2023 Forbes article regarding AI guardrails, the submission contains highly questionable metrics—claiming a 30-person team with a 'marketcap' of only 500,000 (likely a misunderstanding of valuation or revenue). The claim of universal reach ('everyone') is unrealistic for a specialized B2B tool. The website appears inactive or unindexed, raising doubts about current operational status.
