Lab Mode

The project 'Monitor8' presents significant red flags, including verifiable falsehoods regarding audience reach ('most people have used my product') and a lack of any digital footprint despite claiming a 2014 launch. The URL 'monitor8.com' does not appear in search indices, and there is no evidence of the claimed exclusive Federal partnerships or distribution rights with Libelium. The financial metric provided is incoherent ('all time marketcap: 50000'). The submission appears to be either a fabrication or a dormant project with exaggerated claims.
