MyPayCalendar is a functional mobile application designed to help employees track wages and prevent wage theft, addressing a genuine problem. However, the project submission contains severe exaggerations and unverifiable claims. While the app is live on the App Store and Google Play, verified data shows fewer than 100 downloads, contradicting the submission's claim that 'most people have used my product.' The claim of a 500,000 'marketcap' and a 30-person team is inconsistent with the evident scale of the project (a basic utility app with minimal traction). The technical description is virtually non-existent ('Internet'), and the response quality is extremely poor. The project falls into the 'Minimal Traction' category with significant penalties for misleading input data.
