The submission presents a major discrepancy: the description outlines a social product review platform ('MyBranz'), while the business type is listed as 'AI-Powered Email Campaigns' (likely referring to the founder's other product, Branva). The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false given external data showing the company is unfunded with negligible market presence (ranked ~138th among competitors, or <10 reviews on related products). The project appears to be an early-stage or dormant concept with no verifiable traction to support its hyperbolic claims.
